From my ears to yours, it’s music I think you should hear.

Other New Music
If you’re listening to the audio you’ll understand straight away that this is a new adventure here. I wouldn’t know this type of music from a hole in the wall, but I will say that I was recently introduced to Klezmer Juice and I was taken aback at the sounds coming off the disc. My first reaction was to think of movie music, but very specialized movie music. In fact, I’d like you to close your eyes. Sit back, take in this melody and it’s back tracks and think about the movie you could associate it with. Ya with me? Okay, when you open your eyes back up read on.
I’m thinking about an independent film. One with a crazy plot that involves a metropolitan city in a foreign country. Where there’s a quirky family with a strange past. Then there’s some sort of criminal caper, and it gets their extended family in trouble. Eventually it gets the family into hot water with law enforcement. Of course at the end of the movie the crime is solved, the family is off the hook and everyone goes home happy. Is this what you get?
As for me and my current state…
You may know that I’m recording a huge Christmas project. Now that I’ve just typed that I realized I’ve totally mixed my religions here in this post. Doh. Well, it is what it is. I’m actually not a very religious person at all. That’s what makes my recording of this 30 songs of holiday music all the much more abnormal. Anyway, I kinda liken the melody and my mental picture of the off-the-wall movie to my state of being with this project. I spent a large portion of yesterday singing. It wiped me out. I’m roughly 18 songs finished. So far the initial reaction to the material has been strong. Much like my reaction to Klezmer Juice.
Though none of the project that I’m working on is this quirky. I do really dig this song. I like the movement of the melody, I dig the instrumentation. Its actually all relatively very fresh to me and that puts a smile on my face. If you’re reading this far, I’m betting that you feel it too. So go buy it.

Inspired by great music and randomly spewed words, it makes for a fun way to learn about new music doesn't it?

I’m excited to see so much interaction here on this post. Unfortunately my language recognition isn’t so hot and I have no idea what most of the thread is saying. Some of it looks like it could be spanish.
Catalina:
I love the melody that your dad is playing!! Congrats to him.
