I forget how quickly “everyday” comes around. Today’s “15 Hymns” offering is just a quick piano romp, flipped the MacBook Pro camera toward the keyboard and hit record. I’ve always liked watching the hands of people who play piano. Hopefully you all do too.
Sharolyn, there’s a little something in here toward the end that’s just for you (and no, I’m not talking about the sloppy pinky technique on the top end of the runs). Enjoy.
(NOTE: if any of my students are following along, this is NOT appropriate piano technique. This is me farting around on a piano for 10 minutes. If you’re looking for an example of good piano technique, you check this guy out.)
I have always loved this song, but it never seems to work for congregational singing. So, I built my own congregation, out of cloned replicas of myself. Oh man, that would be the greatest church ever. Wait … never mind. On second thought, that would be the worst church ever.
As part of their ongoing effort to whip the blog readership up into a rabid fan frenzy, The Dailies have submitted this tune as their first contribution to 15 Hymns. O Come, All Ye Funky.
Bad cell phone video footage of Leonard Cohen’s first live concert in 17 years. I’m blown away by how understated and precise that band is. And, holy crap, what a voice. It’s like the voice of Cain, soaked in sorrow and gin for 300 years.
