"Will I Leave a Legacy?"
Okay, I've finally uploaded my song, "Will I Leave a Legacy?" It's on the My Music page at Blank Slate, in PDF, MIDI, and ABC formats.
Lots to write about. I've been reading a book called Spiritual Lives of the Great Composers, by Patrick Kavanaugh. It's really good, focusing on the Christian beliefs of men like Handel, Bach, Mozart, Beethoven, Mendelssohn, Brahms, Stravinsky, Dvorak, etc. Fascinating reading. I've also been listening to some tapes by Michael Ballam on the power of music for good. My guitar class starts today, which'll be a lot of fun.
Last night I went to the Mediterranean art exhibit at the Museum of Art (Egyptian, Greek, and Roman art) and that really sparked my interest in the visual arts again, so I signed up for Intro to Drawing for this spring term.
Other than that, I was reading a book the other day which said that the terms "uppercase" and "lowercase" come from printing press terminology: the little block letters that were placed into the press were stored in two cases once the printing was done, with the capitals in the upper case and the other letters in the lower case. Very interesting. :)
Well, I was called as elders quorum president in my student ward this past week, so I guess the summer won't be as carefree as I was expecting, but that's okay -- the blessings from service are well worth it.
