music equals life

Alright, time to talk about something that is a big part of me. MUSIC. I love music, and so does the rest of my family. I've grown up taking piano lessons for a few years, violin for 7 years, and I've recently picked up the guitar.
My brother Nick has played guitar for most of his life, and he is amazinglyyyyy good! I hate to compliment him... but it's true...
Now, my lil bro Liam has started to play the guitar too, and he's picking it pretty fast!
So basically my whole family is involved with music, which makes my life pretty much awesome. If I didn't know how to play any kind of instrument, I don't know what I would do with my life.
Playing music is a way to express myself, or even when I need to get something off my mind or just relax for a few minutes (or a few hours) I just pick up my guitar and play. :)

Playing music, and listening to music are two different things. Sure, you can play music, and sing along to a few songs, but that's not what it's all about. Some songs have deep meanings, and really catch the attention of people.
Some people are like "YEAHHHHH. KESHAAA. OMGSH, RHIANNNAAAA! SHE'S SO GOOD!" Well, no. I'm not like that. If you haven't noticed, they can't sing. and they suck at writting music.. they probably don't even write it.. "blah, blah, blah." Really? those aren't lyrics..
People who have real talent are the 80's bands. They actually play instruments, and write their own songs, and have an actual voice! Or even like coldplay, toyko police club, cold war kids, young the giant, etc. Those are real bands with real talent.

I think I got my point across. :P
well, I have some amazing friends that also have musical talent:
Kathryn VanWyngaarden- she's pretty much awesome. I love her. Last night she had a fundraiser for her trip to Haiti. She has her band play, along with a few other bands. I can't lie... they were awesome! I actually couldn't believe how good some of the bands were that played last night. blew-me-away. It was a great night, with lots of energy and talent.
Kathryn has played the guitar for 4 years, and even teaches guitar now.
Willem Sennema- well, this guy is really one of a kind! He plays the guitar AND the harmonica. he's got some mad skill. no lie.
Joel Robins- apparently he can play the guitar.. not to sure.. but I'll take his word for it. ;)
Emma VanDyk- she's got insane piano skills. her fingers are like lightening! She also picked up the guitar not too long ago! And she plays the trumpet. thats right.. the trumpet.. y'all jealous.
I have a few other friends that can play music and enjoy it as much as I do, but these people really stick out.

so. I think I should stop babbling about music. I could go on forever. so yeah.
kbye.

oh. btw, my big bro just went to a studio in toronto to record a song with his friend. just thought I'd let y'all know. :)
