Zzz...right, that's a key. I'm very tired, as I got back from the Louisiana drive last night about 10:30 after waking up at 5:30 that morning. Then today, went to practice from 9-2, recording Over The Hills and Far Away by Led Zeppelin, and filming four music videos. We filmed videos for 'Baba O'Riley' by The Who, 'Moby Dick' by Led Zeppelin, 'Wish You Were Here' by Pink Floyd, and 'Gravity' by John Mayer. Then, I went to practice with my other band before we played a show at Relay For Life. Busy, busy day.
While I was still in Louisiana, I got some wonderful news...I WAS ACCEPTED INTO THE MUSICIAN'S INSTITUTE IN HOLLYWOOD, CA!!!! That's my choice school and I cannot wait to get there!! I'll get to study guitar and music all the time and be in the heart of the scene. Some of the alumni are John Fruciante and Chad Smith (Red Hot Chili Peppers), Jennifer Batten (Michael Jackson), Paul Gilbert (solo and Mr. Big), and Justin Derrico (solo and Pink), just to name a few. The school has great teachers and staff, and really nurtures creativity and the energy of the players. When I was there last summer, I really felt at home. Something else that's pretty neat about the school is that a lot of famous musicians, both alumni and not, come to teach classes and may also hold auditions there. That's actually how Pink found Justin Derrico. I'm finally going to go to bed and end my saturday night.
