So Goes The Time; A Song About Missing My High School Sweat Heart...Yes, I Finally Found Him! 2007-07-16 11:40:00 By Kathy Ostman-MagnusenThis song is about lost love, hopeful for new wings. I posted part of a book I am writing about finding my high school sweat heart after thirty years on ezine, this song was written before I found him. I always lamented and pined for him. I dreamed about him at least once a week for years and years. I missed him so much that it ached. I first saw him when I was only fifteen in the halls of our high school. He was with someone else but I knew he would one day be mine. It all goes to show one should never discount young love, I don't.-----------------------------"So Goes The Time"a song:Dreams encircle my mindlive up to promisesstolen by time... take back the timewhen dreams were young and you were mine.Slide into shadow and wavesremembered by somesome.... who were youngremember the time, remember the time?chorus:Cherish the simplethe mood in my steadreach out to love songsstroking your breath.I will be therein all that you doin all that you dreamand don't follo Read more:Finally

Birthday Song Best 2007-07-15 04:12:00 By Lindsey WilliamsThe most popular song in the English language undoubtedly was sung to you on your first birthday – and probably thereafter by you to many family members and friends dozens of times a year.Grown men and women in service clubs sing it to each other every week with gusto.It was the first song to be sung in outer space – by Apollo IX astronauts on March 8, 1969.Only the songs “Auld Lang Syne” and “For He’s A Jolly Good Fellow” are almost as often sung.By now, you have guessed that the famous ditty is “Happy Birthday
To You.”Forerunner of the little song was composed in 1893 by two sisters. Dr. Patty Hill was principal of the Louisville, Kentucky, Experimental Kindergarten. Mildred Hill was a teacher there.In those days, children began school in the first grade at age 6. There they began the journey through the “three Rs” -- readin’, ‘riting and ‘rithmatic.The Hill teachers were the vanguard of a theory that children were creative and responsiv
Favorite Christmas Songs for Kids 2007-07-14 02:06:00 By Jeremy WhiteWhat do kids love most about Christmas
? The gifts, of course! When Santa and the elves dream big, children explode with delight. But the holiday season is about more than gift giving, and kids celebrate Christmas in a variety of ways. Chief among them are Christmas carols. There's no better way for kids to spread a little Yuletide cheer than singing "Joy to the World" at the top of their lungs. Thankfully for those of us who see the magic of the Yuletide season most clearly through the eyes of children, there are plenty of great kids carols to go around.

Britney and Paris 2007-07-09 10:26:00 By Paul DavisMother Britney
Spears takes her pants off in public with Paris
Hilton, while proceeding with a divorce and custody battle for her children. Certainly this was not a very smooth move on Britney's part.Britney Spears recently dumped and proceeded to divorce her husband. Telling the world that she wants to improve her image and career, Britney's actions certainly don't affirm that.The newly-liberated pop star enjoyed a wild 'girls night out' in Sin City with Miss Hilton this weekend; dancing, laughing and chain-smoking throughout the night.The unlikely pair landed at club Tryst in the Wynn hotel, where Britney was spotted getting down and dirty on the dance floor to several Paris Hilton songs. In fact, things got so heated, Britney ditched her pants -- and danced around the club in a pair of fishnet stockings!Reading some of her fans posted comments on TMZ (which I've written below) is revealing:"Britney dumps Fed-Ex to hang out with Parisite Crotch???""Umm... where's
The Song of Your Heart 2007-07-07 06:24:00 By Robert CurtisThere are many forces and influences out there seeking our attention, vying for our passions. Some should be accepted and followed with full-fledged allegiance. Others should be avoided like a plague.Follow your heart.

Develop a Guitar Practice Schedule 2007-08-14 05:59:00 By Kathy Unruh Now that the New Year has begun it's as good a time as any to develop a GuitarPracticeSchedule
. Let's face it, if we want to be better guitar players, then we need to play! Notice that the key word here is play, not work. But, if you're anything like me, then you know how easy it is to let other demands on your time get in the way of practicing your guitar. Time management is always a challenge, but I find it helps when I write things down and can visualize my priorities. Today I would like to help you develop a practice schedule so you'll be able to reach some of your goals as a guitar player.Every guitarist's practice schedule will differ due to personal lifestyle, job & home demands, hobbies, social life, etc. Being a beginner, intermediate or advanced guitar player will also effect how and what you practice.As a beginner, your main goal is to develop the calluses, strength and coordination skills needed to play the guitar. Practicing 15-20 minutes a day should
Bare Bones Rock Band Equipment 2007-08-14 05:58:00 By Kathy Unruh What are the "bare bones" needed to start a rock band? Well, besides the desire itself, one of the first requirements is having the ability to sing and/or play an instrument. Then you will need to find other band members. The size of the rock band will be up to you. Some "power bands" of the 60's (ie. Cream, The Jim Hendrix Experience) only had three members. These rock bands created a huge sound with only one lead guitar player, one bass player and a drummer. At least one of the band members will need to be able to sing, but if they all can, that's even better.Assuming your band members have their own instruments, some additional equipment you will need when your band is playing a gig includes:microphone(s) mic stand(s)guitar stand(s)cablesassorted jacksspeakersmonitor(s)power mixerYou can either purchase these items one by one, or find a PA package that puts it all together for one price. You will generally find a better deal in purchasing a package when you are just Read more:Bones
