Kenzie's Band Project

Tonight we with and gave a two hour interview to Eirc Toombs and after the dust settled ended up skaking hands and being excited to work with one another.

Guitar Center

I want to thank Katie and Guitar Center for taking the time to teach me some of the basics like tuning my guitar and some chords.  I'm looking forward to next week's session!  It's cool that a business like this takes the time to mentor someone like me that loves "The Sound of Music" but doesn't necessarily understand how to make the instrument make beautiful music.

It was also cool that they let me use this beautiful blue Ibenez Acoustic guitar...  I think I know what I want for my upcoming birthday.

This is the guitar my Uncle Russel won and gave to me.  Thanks  Russel, I'm trying to learn how to play it for ya!  With the help of Guitar Center maybe I'll be able to play you Happy Brithday next year!

BUILDING A BAND

Tried this last year and had something goin' but unfortanly it just didn't work out.  That is trying to build a band is tougher than I thought.  Last year we were working with a group called Inline 5.  Some friends of ours through the Nebraska Country Music Foundation.  Two of the musicians are Junior Hall of Fame members just like me.  The only thing that didn't work is the fact that we all lived an hour away from one another and we are minors...  Makes it tough to get together, so that idea was scratched.

This year however we have been concentrating on building a band with musicians all from the Lincoln, Nebraska area and are actually getting something going again.   At the moment I have about three spots in the group narrowed down.  Will start the audition process soon!...  So be on the look out for us!

Today we have a day off from school.  It is Spring Break...  Some Spring Break.  It snowed almost 6" inches.  Anyways, I am bored so I have been working on a song that I have been meaning to for a long time...  Our National Anthem, "The Star Banner".
