Africa in Acoustic by Andy Mckee

Are you familiar with the rock band Toto? Toto is one of the most successful rock bands during the early 80’s having grabbed with lots of hit singles. Well, how about Andy Mckee? Are you familiar with his name? If not, Mckee is one of the great artists who have been known a soloist and a freaking guitarist today. Since before and even until now, when you were to get labeled as a soloist most of the attentions will probably turn to you. That would probably the rule.

I have to admit when I first saw one of his videos on Youtube I began to admire him for his wonderful talent as a musician and his passion for music. His style of music is so relaxing and warm that it makes me want to watch some of his videos more.

Without no further a do, playing Toto’s hit single Africa. I give you, Andy Mckee.

it's a beautiful day

Hey guys its 2009! And what is more beautiful to start the year than is to have a positive attitude, don’t you agree? And since this would be my first post of the year, I thought the song “Beautiful day” by U2 would be the perfect fit. It is like destine (lol). Well if you don’t agree with me, your opinions are always welcome. Beautiful day by U2 is a song about trials, misfits, suffering, name all the bad times in life(sounds bad right) and then there is optimism. Optimism is one thing in life that gave us a positive attitude to surpass all the trials in life. Like what in the lyrics says ”After the flood, all the colors came out”. What I love in this video is the crowd. They were jumping and singing for the song simply because it’s beautiful. Not to mention U2 led by Bono have done a nice job jamming with them. Just in case you don’t know anything about the band which I doubt, U2 is an Irish rock band that was formed in 1976. So practically, the band is 33years old (if my math is rig

Tracy Chapman

If you hear the name of Tracy Chapman, would you recognize the name or what’s the first thing that pops in you mind? Well if you don’t have any clue of her then I would definitely feel sorry for you. This woman is one of the most talented musicians I know. She’s one of the most gifted songwriters around and the way she puts the right melody of her songs is just astounding. When listening to her music it makes you feel captivated. It’s like meeting a stranger yet you felt you’ve known him/her for a long time or eating a cookie and once you tasted it, it becomes your favorite cookie. She is that good. Her music lets you reveal your emotional side. For me, her voice is adorable and I think is her most important asset aside of her folk guitar simply because her voice represents every men and women in the world. You can definitely relate to her songs.
