It's Been A Month...

Hey, all!  So, yeah.  It's been a little while since I last posted on December 1st.  My reason?  Well, there's been a lot going on in the past few weeks.  I'll give you guys all the rundown - okay?


Christmas services at MCC were awesome.  That was probably my favorite part of the whole month.  No, seriously.  I played at Wellington on the 23rd for both of the services, and boy were they fun!  The songs were tricky for all of us, but that's what made it feel like we were all doing our very best together to make something awesome.  Honestly, with all of the cool lighting, fog, and the both louder and harder music all made it feel like I was playing at a concert.  Which, by the way, was AMAZING!  :D

I also played at another Christmas program at our local Christian preschool (where I went as a kid) Chestnut.  And yup, this was also hard, but also extremely fun!  After getting the sheet music, realizing that I had no idea what I was doing, getting the actual songs, making chord sheets, and then playing all 16 songs 3 times at the shows, I was tired.  But while doing it, I had major nostalgia waves I guess as I seemed to remember some of the parts of the plays that the kids were saying.  A few of the songs rung a bell in my head, too!  Overall, I really loved getting to help out with that this year - it was pretty darn fun!

On Christmas Day, we stayed home and essentially sat on our butts.  (Not that we don't do that every year - haha!)  We went for a small walk because it was like 60 degrees, and we also played with the Socker Boppers which we had received that morning.  Awesome.

I got some awesome gifts this year, too, and I'm very thankful for all of them!

My parents' main gift to me was a Yamaha YPG-235.  Now I can record my music in my room with my computer instead of our (now older) MacBook!

My brother Camden got me an HMDX Chill speaker, which is epic!  Loud, crisp, and is Bluetooth!

My brother Logan got me (arguably the most thoughtful gift of the entire day) a Play The Keys shirt using CustomInk!!!  THIS IS SO SWAG.  Sorry just had to get that out of the way...

Oh yeah, here's one little late Christmas gift to you guys...Play The Keys works on mobile now!  Go ahead, try it.  Please comment an tell me if you find any bugs so I can squash 'em!  Thanks so much for viewing Play The Keys!

P.S. Nope, haven't forgotten about my album Groove.  It's coming.  Still in the works, but coming.  :)
