Musical Background

alrighhht im finally writing a new post. its christa here! i know i havent written in a while and i feel bad...but zoe ahs me in total wonderment. her? writing a SONG?? wow. the last song of hers that i read was....okay i wont embarrass her. but anyways, saturday is our next "big get together" yay!!!! we're meeting ethan! and i know that im excited to meet him, after all zoe's told us! and i know that beth is excited to meet his guitar. (yeah, you guessed it-its electric. and we know that beth will give ANYTHING to get her hands on one of those..) so.....its all going to be awesome. except we only have like two hours together. but whatever. we'll take what we get. but yeah, i'm extremely excited to hear zoe's new song. i mean, beth's songs are great, but im really excited to hear something different! no offense to beth or anything.

well, i guess im the only one to attack the tedious job of writing a song. huh. i have never seriously tried to write a song, because i know from past experiences that i'm terrible at poetry. its like my worst enemy. i dont know, maybe it'll be different. i know that before, though, when i tried to write songs, my faith was not well. maybe now it will be different. hey ^that could be a lyric! haha...not sure how well that'll go over. so, anyways...i thought that now would be a good time to write about our musical backgrounds.

okay, i'll start with me, i guess. well, both of my parents are very musical: my mom sings and plays piano wonderfully. my dad sings; his voice is great, he played trumpet in the army band and i think that he played flute for a while, too. he still plays trumpet. but i guess that i inherited musical ability from them. i have known music since i was little. i was in small musicals as a kid, most memorable to me the "We Like Sheep" musical, which was the first time that i met beth and zoe. although i did not become friends with either of them until i joined One Voice Ministries. my mother and i joined in the year of 2002, and zoe joined a year after. im not sure when beth joined. i was in band at school, playing the flute, since fifth grade. the middle of the year, my freshman year, i started homeschooling, so now i only get to go to band two times a week. anyways, im sidetracking. so, since 2002 i have only missed one one voice season. i also kinda know how to play piano, but definitely not as well as zoe can.

anyways, thats me. so, i will attempt to give the others' brief backgrounds. i dont really know so much about eithers' but i will try. i know that zoe started one voice in 2003 and she has a great voice. she takes piano lessons from dona lynn-the musical director for one voice and of Calvary Bible Church. zoe also has a good ear for rhythm and i think that she will do well on the drums. zoe-feel free to elaborate on that.

beth has a good voice, too and an ability to think up of songs and create chord progressions and all that good stuff. she is in one voice, and takes voice lessons from dona lynn. she is now also taking guitar lessons at Laconia High every morning. feel free to elaborate on that, beth, as well.

alright, that's all i got to say now, other than: pics are on the way! i just need to find time to finish editing them. :/
