Okay. This one is actually something that happened at the end of my vacation, but I'm going to tell it first because it's so awsome!

While I was gone, I was invited to play on a completely restored 1927 Steinway Baby Grand Piano. It was AMAZING!!! I don't think I have every played a piano like it! I feel very lucky, because only a few people have every been allowed to play on it! I took a video of me playing Zanarkand on it. I'll try to get it uploaded soon. Although I messed up a...

Uploaded five new Dragon Quest arrangements to the archive.

Don't know if anyone still reads this, but I enjoy writing in it. Clearly you do read it, if nobody else does!

I just submitted my latest work, a wind ensemble arrangement of Searching for Friends. I plan to print it out and have my community band read through it on Monday. It's fairly simple (aside from the somewhat intricate bass line), but has lots of nice chord progressions. I was inspired to write this a month or two ago, when I was playing Final Fantasy VI on the GBA pretty...
