A rendition of Oh Holy Night in saxophone. If you notice, the audio and video aren’t exactly in sync. I cannot figure out why during the editing. I also had to do several takes by the way.

Hope you guys have wonderful and meaningful Christmas this year. I also hope you enjoy the music.

Congratulations to Aquarela! Wow!

Mr. Big is currently touring. I can only hope they do it here in the Philippines. I will watch. Most of my few friends will watch too, I’m sure. I really hope to see them. Damn, that’d be good. Too good even. Hehehe.

I got into them back in highschool, around 6 years ago. We played a number of their songs. I brought the influence home, got my friends into them, and played more mr. big music. They’re just good. Pure and good.

If you they’re really coming here, I hope you could inform me.

Eagles – Joe Walsh’s song “One day at a time” reminds us to live just about how the song said it: One day at a time.

It’s a pop-rock song with a feel-good touch to it. Just saw the DVD playing back when I woke up yesterday and found the song good.

One day at a time

Well you know I was always the first to arrive at the party,
Oh…and the last to leave the scene of the crime.
Well it started with a couple of beers,
And it went I don’t know how many years,
Like a run away train heading for the end of the line.

Well I finally got around to admit that I might have a problem,
But I thought it was just too damn big of a mountain to climb,
Well I got down on my knees and said Hey,
I just can’t go on living this way,
Guess I have to learn to live my life one day at a time.

Oh yeah, One Day at a Time.
Oh yeah, One Day at a Time.

Well I finally got around to admit that I was the problem,
When I use to put the blame on everybody’s shoulders but mine,
All my friends I use to hang with are gone,
But I hadn’t planned on living this long,
Guess I’ll have to learn to live my life one day at a time,
It was something I was too blind to see,
I got help from something greater then me,
Now I have to learn to live my life one day at a time.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to everyone!

This is John Petrucci at his best.

I haven’t listened to them in a long time…hell, I haven’t been listening to any song in a long time. I’ve forgotten my love, and now I’m returning. Seriously returning.

No, not to Dream Theater, I meant to music. But DT will always be in the equation, I’m sure of it.

I’ve been caught up with tech work and just relaxing way too much. As Maxwell pointed, talent is overrated. Talent is NEVER enough. It definitely isn’t. I’ve been lazy. It should have been talent, discipline, choices, and many other things all this while. I knew that. Way back. Gone astray. Forgotten. Now, reminded again.

This is my craft. This is where I’m good at. This is where I kick serious ass.

Now, I’ll be kicking harder. Working harder.

God help me.
