they could cut out the sound

My day starts with me going for MEP exam (feels like yesterday), and then coming back home. There isn't much featured at home, except for me being able to practise for a rare 3 hours, simply being aware of one's body posture and whether each muscle and bone is in the right place.

Sometimes pianists don't realise that their body is out of shape and thus causing injuries later in their life, sooner or later.

After the practice session, I try to find a computer game to play, but I failed. So I resorted to online games, puzzles, blah. For the first time in my life I did some of the 'escape' games, where you were in a scenario and had to find items to collect, combine, and use in order to escape the scenario ultimately.

Of course you had to expect from a person like me, with a low IQ and coupled with a lazy brain decided to take a detour but going to Yahoo and typing 'escape phonebooth walkthrough'

So there you have it. Not much of a challenge, ain't it?

I proceeded to copy the Beatles's 'The Long and Winding Road' onto a piece of paper and placed the chords in, before playing through once on the piano just before dinner and singing along. What a beautiful song - recently it was mentioned in The New Paper for Liverpool's case (a long and winding road towards losing). Hmmm, so they still remember the Fab Four!

On the right you viewers can see videos of the Beatles which I basically typed in a search for. This week's would be 'The Beatles, rooftop'.

All the videos feature the Beatles playing their last concert (very last) on the rooftop of the Apple Studios. While they were playing, they were also being recorded, so it would be something like 'Live Recording'

In any case, they were interrupted by the police by part 3, with their loudspeakers and amps being disconnected except for Ringo's and Paul's. Ringo was the drummer, so there was no way they could cut out the sound (like duh!) and they probably forgot about Paul's, so George's and John's amps were cut off.

Of course they were pissed - imagine if your loudspeakers were plucked off in the middle of a live concert which everyone was enjoying. In any case, Paul pulled it off nicely and they were able to continue smoothly, much to the dismay of the London police.

Inside the video also features the constantly talked about 'Fifth Beatle', in this case it would be Billy Preston, as he played the keyboard for this concert. However there are many 'Fifth Beatles', and I should think it's an issue which is still highlu debatable, but totally not worth debating when all you want to do is to enjoy music.

I still don't understand why people still listen to 'emo' music...makes one so emotional! If life gives good things, take only the good things! Of course, we can argue from day to night what's good and what's bad, but music should not be debated over.

It's perhaps the only thing that everyone has in common - the common ability to appreciate music, be it emo, rock, classical, pop. Since we are given the higher ability to appreciate such things, why not!
