Fickle N' Freelance Forever: Yanni

First of all, for those of you who follow I apologize for the delay in this week’s post. The internet at my house decided it was the end and abruptly died.

This morning the service expert came out and called it – so I have a shiny new little box and a boosting signal. (You can’t stop the signal!)

So – without further delay – here is this weeks post.

Last weekend I was able to experience the treat of my lifetime. I went to my second concert ever (I know, I’m not as hip as everyone else out there) at the Fox Theatre, as an usher, but I was able to see it for free. For those of you who haven’t heard of him or his music – or simply don’t know who he is – one word:

Yanni.

Back in the 90’s he helped revamp the general interest in music along with Enya.

Yanni’s music is classic, soft and wonderful. In recent years he has begun adding singers to his repertoire. All of the music is still fantastic. If you haven’t been blessed enough to listen – GO SNAG AN ALBUM!

There’s a few of them at your local library for sure. And if you’re a musician, there’s piano books (though, after seeing him play, I feel highly underqualified for performing any of his works ever again). Some of these can be found at your local library as well.

Though, I’ve taken the time to add some youtube links (yay!!) of some of my personal favorites.

(Links listed below.)

Music is a wonderful way of expressing yourself, of connecting with emotions, and feeling something on the inside. It’s a way to understand life, to connect dots, to study by. Without music I life would simply pass on as a dull and dreary existence.

Take the time to pass on some music – sharing sounds with those you love, or appreciate – this is what makes memories last.
