It’s so nice to be inspired. It happens sometimes. If it happened all the time, it wouldn’t be special… but it really happened on Sunday. I mean, it really happened. I watched a movie called “Thundersoul” about… well, just watch the trailer: Even as I write this a few days later, I have a hard time putting my feelings into words because the movie is … Continue reading Music Ed Monday (Tuesday?) – Thundersoul

For more information, head to the “Music” … Continue reading Remembrance Day – Ghosts of Vimy
