Duh Duh DUHN... Ominous music, the theme from "Psycho" plays, oh wait - that could just be a flashback to my own music festival experiences. I'm sure all of you are well prepared and looking forward to your upcoming performances! Anyhow, perhaps you have watched a TEDtalk before posted over on the Loopy Library. I really, really like them, even though they can be a bit long (around 18-20 minutes.) I'm hoping you'll have a look at this one featuring Natalie McMaster (Canadian) with her husband Donnell Leahy (also Canadian) playing and talking about their music. I think Natalie was around 12 when she started to become famous for her fiddling - and you have probably heard of the group Leahy. Donnell talks about how he and his 10 brothers and sisters shared 2 fiddles and one piano growing up and all desperately loved music, so once they had an instrument in their hands they would skip supper because they knew they would lose their turn and not get it back! So, once again, I'm going to tell you how fortunate you are to have your instrument all to yourself. Appreciate your amazing opportunities, embrace them, be inspired and be inspiring! And have a great weekend!
