Coporate Gig for Dualog, 9 Jun '10

I was cool doing a gig with a future schoolmate of mine. Haha! Cool because I would know beforehand that we would be schoolmates. :) I did a gig with Sheena; a corporate gig (thanks Sheena for asking me along) for the company Dualog. We did a 15mins set, just 4 songs, namely... What a Wonderful World, Man in the Mirror, Hey Jude and My Way. Sheena is a voice major heading to Berklee... and yes she does have a good voice! :) I just thought, wow, its really cool to be a voice major man. That I would never be able to do! Imagine going to a music college and just SINGING! hahah... but of course, there are other stuff on top of that as well.

It was nice doing the gig with her, at least now, I have another friend (that I already know) going to Berklee. So to date, this is my 2nd gig with a Berklee schoolmate. :) And we had lots to talk about; basically, all about music and Berklee. I am curious to see how we would fare in Berklee and how we would improve as musicians over time. :) My 1st was with Keith when we played for Alex W.'s gig.

The gig was at Grand Plaza Parkroyal. Its really near to Echo Music, but I've never been to the hotel. They had a poolside event in the evening and it was really nice. The layout, the ambience and the food. Haha... :) the CEO who engaged us was very hospitable also. And we could help ourselves to the food, that sure was a plus point. Haha... :) So I love music and I love food!

John Williams - Home Alone Theme

Home Alone is one of my favourite movies of all time! Probably because of the festive mood, beautiful scenes of America, a touching reunion of the family, every kid's dream (maybe mine) of plotting traps against the baddies and it was the best kid's show around then! Love it! But not just that, the music had a part to play. The main theme is way moving; simple yet it tugs at the heartstrings. :) And I just recently found out that its composed by John Williams. John Williams is a prolific composer/musician and most notably famous for his film scores. Some of his works are... Star Wars, Superman, Home Alone and the first 3 Harry Potters. He's 78 this year and still composing! Amazing! I hope you would enjoy this piece as much as I do! I should get the soundtrack. :)

feels blessed and appreciates it that i was paid for going down to my student's place, even when something cropped up for him and he missed the lesson.

feels blessed that we got a small tip for the corporate gig... :)
