Out to Dinner

A Berklee faculty member named Scott Free (I know, awesome name, right?) and his wife took us out to dinner tonight so we could get free food again! I was excited. I found out about it earlier today. I got Chicken Souvlaki, which is one of my favorite dishes here. It's basically just chicken kabob. Cody's parents were there too. The food was very good and we had some good conversations, especially the ones about scary movies. Courtney was wide-eyed when I said that my mom always says she loves, "Cut-em-up movies". Sorry mom.

Earlier today I played "Sweet Janine" for my piano teacher. It's the new version that I rewrote when I got here. All the verses have new lyrics and the chorus is slightly changed. My piano teacher said he thought it was a hit! He also said he thought it was the most poppy of my songs that he's heard. Interesting. I kind of agree. It really made me happy to hear that. It made me realize that now with the new lyrics, that song is really good and I want to enter it in Berklee competitions.

Before my piano lesson, I met up with Mia and helped her with the song she's writing for our class tomorrow (Greek Crossroads of Rhythm and Sound). We have to write a song with an odd time signature. I'm of course doing a voice piano song. It's called, "Poor Stuttering Jones." Hers sounds great! It's fun playing piano for her.

It's amazing. All my life I have found that I bond the most through music. Since she asked me to play piano for her and give her tips on the writing of the song, I've felt so much closer to her.

Y.

Why not Y? That's in my name so I thought I'd give it recognition for once rather than the letter S.
