I played the bassoon for five years, the clarinet for thirteen years- traveling with the University of Washington Husky Marching band for three of those years. Guitar for twenty years. And cello in 2013. I love music. I think that … Continue reading The Power of Music

Ah, the romantic in me still believes... Not that I want a long-distance relationship or anything.... but this is beautifully shot. Happy Sunday 🙂 Splitscreen: A Love Story by James W Griffiths
I'm just imagining these songs would be good for crafting. I don't actually craft. Although, I should probably look into it. However, you could use this playlist for jewelry-making, bathroom cleaning, or maybe just chillin and grabbing some sun-time in the backyard.
