Hunt for a Guitar Case

Sander — Thu, 26 Jan 2012 12:42:09 +0000

My 1983 Fender Sratocaster JV is in need of a new home. The current gig bag that I use is many years old already and is almost about to give out, which is why I have been actively looking for a good gig bag or guitar case that be an exact fit for my guitar. I’ve already checked out the generic cases that are available and sadly they are not as fitting as I would hope so I am hoping some guy out there could sell me a case that is specifically made for Fender Strats.

Who would have thought that I would be heard live on a popular radio station with a very popular singer songwriter? Well if you thought so then you hit the jackpot! Last Saturday was a blast – went to two radio stations, promoting the 2nd Elements National Singing and Songwriting Camp, I was with 2 awesome mentors and we jammed on both of the stations we were in. Good times!

Music Room!

I’ve been hoping to complete my home studio within this year but I guess it will have to wait until our house has been renovated. We have included a small music room in the design and by God’s grace, I will be practicing and recording tracks early next year. Aside from instruments – which I already have a lot of, I am considering getting good quality speakers. I have been scouting for a few but the question is which bookshelf speakers should I get? In any case I hope to see the completion of our new house and by God’s grace amplify my musical productivity.

Steel Drums

Music is the most effective remedy to relieve the soul from the heartaches of life. There is something about the strings of notes and melody that captivates the listeners and sends them to the world of fantasy.

You can serenade someone with a classical guitar. You can rock the world with your traditional drums and deliver a symphonic madness with a grand piano. But how about those people who do not want to go for the traditional? You can still enjoy the world of music because of the steelband family. The group of instruments is composed of quadraphonic, cello, six pan, steel drums and so much more. The steel pan originated from Trinidad and Tobago and is made of a drum that usually contains oil. It is categorized under the idiophone family and this seemingly peculiar instrument has actually been used since 1780’s. That makes the steel drum or steel pan a historic and antique musical instrument then.

Closer to My Dream

Sander — Tue, 26 Oct 2010 13:40:48 +0000

It seems there is no more stopping me from attending the songwriting camp. I am preparing hard by writing songs in advance. The guest speakers there are the biggest in the industry that’s why I’m both nervous and excited to meet them. I have also been thinking if I need fat burners to be able to make a better impression.

Just this week, I received a call that they are already arranging our airline tickets. This is going to be the first time for me to ride an airplane. I hope we will have a smooth ride and there’ll be no storm the day we leave. lol! Wish me luck!

Anxiously Waiting for Audition Results

Sander — Tue, 28 Sep 2010 04:53:03 +0000

Tomorrow I will finally know the result of my audition. If I pass, it would be the biggest thing that will happen to me. I will be rubbing elbows with the biggest names in the Philippine songwriting business including great singers like Gary Valenciano in a four-day songwriting seminar. I was nervous during the audition but I know I did my best. Anyway, if I don’t make it then there’s always next year. Still, I hope God will provide me with this wonderful opportunity. I have been waiting for opportunities like this all my life and I hope it will finally be given to me.
