A Project Unveiled!!

Christian and I are doing weekly video-casts now! Here is the first one. It’s about the origins of Betty Blonde:

We will definitely be working on the professionalism and quality of the videocasts. We’re very excited to see how this, like Betty Blonde and this blog, progresses.

We’ll have to skip next week as we will be at convention, but we’ll stay on schedule after that!

Enjoy!

Christian’s Bulgarian made guitar

Christian’s birthday is on Saturday.  Yesterday, he went for his normal guitar lesson with Alex Gorodezky and got an early birthday present.  The Orpheus Valley Fiesta FC guitar was hand crafted in Bulgaria.  Alex recommended the guitar and, after having read a number of reviews (here is a typical one), we went ahead and bought it.  We are ALL enjoying it very much.  Christian’s guitar playing has improved pretty dramatically over the short time he has taken lessons from Alex.  He was pretty faithful in his practice before we found Alex, but now he not only does his regular daily practice, but picks up the guitar just for fun to work on different songs the he or someone else in the family wants him to play.  Last night, he worked several versions of Greensleeves that all sounded great on the new guitar.

We took the beautiful Yamaha guitar Kendall had lent us back to him on Sunday (Thanks, Kendall!!).  I think Christian was pretty sad to have to give that back and went through several days of pain and frustration playing his steel string guitar until we got the new one.  When I got home from work, Lorena and Christian piled into the car, ran down to the music store, and got a nice hard shell case like the one Kendall has for his Yamaha.  We are looking forward to Christian’s continued efforts on his new instrument.
