Read Aloud Books Can Create the Best Part of the Day
02.20
Is it time to calm the activity level in your house and get everyone ready for bed? Sometimes that is the most difficult part of the day. It might be a good idea to do have some relaxing activities to bring down the energy. A warm bath helps, followed by a small drink of water, teeth brushed, and if the kids like to sleep with something like a teddy bear (or a car if they are like my grandsons) they can go pick that out.
Now comes the best part – the part I loved as a child. That part was a story from our read aloud books. It’s amazing the affect a good story can have on a child. Depending on the story, how and when it is read, it can calm, excite, or inspire. At night, of course, you want to calm. So read it with calmness. Put expression in your voice, yes, but no jumping up and down or shouting.
Story time before bed is a wonderful way to calm the energy level and get kids ready to sleep. It also makes for good memories later on. Turn the most difficult part of the day into one of the best – with good books.

Aren’t They Dancing the Same?
02.15
Something not everyone is familiar with is that there are lots of different styles in dancing. Unless you have studied dancing or have an eager interest in it, you may have difficulty in telling the different styles apart. For someone that does it for a living it might seem obvious, but to many people it can be confusing.
It is best to look at each style individually and watch different dancers doing that style. You will see that even though they may not use exactly the same moves, there will be many things that they have in common with other practitioners of that style. Look at another style and again look at the things different dancers and groups have in common. Now put the two different styles side by side and you should be able to tell the difference.
Different dance styles can also have different music styles associated with them. Some may be danced to Irish music, others to 70s songs and others to Bollywood music.

Our Ego, the Scottish Terrier
02.05
We all loved our Ego, the Scottish Terrier. My sister used to called him Eggie! He had been part of our family since I was four years old when we lived in Healesville. He was given to us straight after he was born by Alf, the local butcher, who already had enough terriers to keep him busy. During those six years that he was with us, he barely left our sides. He was a typically stocky little fellow, black as the ace of spades, and as loyal as they come. He always had so much energy and was so alert and playful that he was the perfect animal companion for myself and my brothers and sister as we grew up. But it was his determination that really stood out for me. I had never seen a dog with that much guts before! Memories of our Ego, the little Scottish Terrier will always be with us.

Before you know it, you will be turning out delightful music that everyone will love.This is truly a great program and it never hurts to try something new.
How to Adjust Volume with Your Band
02.04
I was using my Randall amp (yep, totally not like a Fender… I gave up on my Fender because of the need for loud volume). I found the sweet spot for my “tone and sound;” it was with the volume knob straight up on 5.
I felt like my whole setup worked and sounded best at that volume. Unfortunately I rarely used that setting. Maybe 3 or 4 times in the past two years on big stages and usually outdoors. Most times I ran my volume on 2 or 3 because I knew the louder my amp was, the louder the drummer was going to play.
I always had my amp right by the drummer facing a wall. I wanted us to be able to play the smallest rooms with comfortable volumes for us as musicians and mainly for the crowd and owners who were telling us we needed to be quieter. The bassist and drummer would sacrifice what they wanted to use at times behind the drums.

A Restaurant Full of Fort Collins Photographers
01.24
The first time I ate at a restaurant near my office, I was completely surrounded by Fort Collins photographers. I just moved to a new place in Colorado for my new job. On my first day, I decided to eat out and go to the nearest restaurant. When I got there, I ordered from the menu and read my favorite book while waiting for my food. My reading was interrupted when I noticed a man wearing a hat and loose comfortable clothes and with a heavy DSLR camera in his hand going inside the restaurant. I thought he must be a Fort Collins photographer because most of my friends who are photographers dress exactly like him.
A few minutes later, more men, wearing the same style of clothes as the first one I saw, entered the restaurant. I have never seen that many photographers in just one venue before. As soon as I got my food, I ate it right away so I can get out of the restaurant. On my way to the office, I saw a building with men inside who wore similar clothes as the one I encountered in the restaurant. I then realized that my office is actually situated near a big photography studio.
