Playlist Change

Hey hey everyone

Ok...I think the first thing you guys may have noticed about my blog is the sudden change from popular music to classical...now...it was a request from my dear friend Edd...I probably wouldn't have done anything, but I realised that I guess everyone out there needs to know the stuff I'm into out of popular music and the type of things I do in the orchestra's I'm in...I do the Hungarian dance no. 5 by Brahms and Marche Slave by Tchaikovsky in the KZN Youth Orchestra and I did The "Egmont" Overture with the Durban City Orchestra.

I threw in Schubert's "Unfinished" because I've simply fell in love with the symphony, it's beautiful and lyrical and I love his use of the woodwinds...hey...what can I say...I'm instrumentist....lol...I don't eve think that's a word...oh well...and then the Shostakovich Festival Overture is a request from Edd himself...

I know not everyone is gonna appreciate this music, but it's what I love and I really want to share it with everyone :)

Much Love

Wow...been a while

Ok...so I know I haven't blogged in a while...sometimes I just forget that it's here, but I have been meaning to post for a while.
A lot has happened since Paul's unfortunate car stealing...good things....great things actually:)
I've met Paul's whole family:) It's pretty much safe to say that his mom and dad love me...Still have no clue about his step mom and step sis...they seemed extremely hard to talk to, but I'm taking my mom's advice and not getting upset about it...maybe they are shy and don't know what to say to this little engels meisie Paul is now with. One very good thing that came out of Paul's dad's visit from V-Town is....Paul's got a car again:) after like a month and a half of me picking him up from his flat...he is over the moon...yes the car needs work... but he got it for free from his dad so he's definately not complaining:)
Another awesome thing that's happened....MY MINI IS NOW COMPLETE!!!!!!! I know my mom has photo's on her blog...but this car is my baby so I'm gonna be a proud owner and post photo's too...

Some other photo's that I'm gonna post are from the KZNYO tour to the East Rand...that was a lot of concerts over three days and....we had to contend with one of the busses breaking down on the way up.... was not cool...

And then there's the Durban City Orchestra...wow....I'm having such a blast with that...we had a concert on 24 May at Marianhill Monastery Church....amazing place filled with beautiful music. We played Haydn's 104, the Oberon and Egmont Ouverture's and my friend, Jane, played a violin concerto by Mozart...was just amazing...never enjoyed playing a concert so much in my life before...thanks to Ed, Russell and Angus asking me to join :) We've just gotten our new music...gonna be fun and.....I get to play piano...Elton John's "Don't let the sun go down on me"...gonna make it perfect:)

Varsity is busy as always...got my last exam for the semester tomorrow...piano...working hard to perfect everything before the exam....just hope I can do it...really want to do well...Just wish that this Bach Prelude and Fugue wasn't so hard to play....but I'll do it:)

Well...that's the update....will be back soon to keep you in the loop...Just have to say though...I'm missing all my cousins over in America...I'm trying to save up for a ticket...but it's hard being a student and doing that...but I hope that you will all come visit sometime soon:) And congrats Gareth...your fiance' is beautiful:) Miss you all and love you lots all my family in America MWA

Much Love
