music

Last week it was reported that a 15 year old piano prodigy is performing quite well in international competitions. It's amazing because he's been playing piano for less than a year. Even with all his talent, effort must be made to secure him scholarships for his training. As the article states, "Plane tickets and music schools are expensive."

The Voice is on tonight. I haven't watched it in a few weeks and I probably won't watch it tonight but I was glad to hear DaNica Shirey sing Joni Mitchell's Help Me. I heard it all the time on the radio as a kid but never truly appreciated it until I heard Ms Shirey perform it again.

I like watching The Voice especially during the Blind Auditions. The show also helps me learn what music is popular nowadays.
