I almost entered another video on guitar, but didn't.

Wow, all of these are really good. It's hard to pick which ones to vote for.

She left many of us behind. She left us heartbroken. And though we cry now there'll come a time when we'll laugh. Because we'll see her again someday. We'll be with her in heaven. And when we go to heaven she'll be there to greet us. She'll be there to say "Welcome home." -From a poem that SnC wrote about her grandmother

And we have the results of our public vote.

The winner of first place is ric with 27% of the vote. For that he gets $200!

Second place goes to Candy with 20%. She wins $100!

Third place is a tie between EMBEE, Lee, and Smaug the Dragon, and they each will get $50!

Jesus' Princess and Steve (although he didn't get any votes) will get $20 each.

And we also have a late entry, ~JCGJ~ and his harmonica:
And will give him $20 for that, even though he didn't get in the poll, because harmonica is cool. :-

These were all really good guys! :D I finally feel like I'm back in reality again!
Yesterday I watched a ton of 5-7 year old asian prodigies play my piano piece (a waltz by Chopin) way better than I can play and I felt really bad. Now, listening to non prodigies (who are still really good) I don't feel terrible about myself. :P

I hate those Asian kids. :-

Well, they're awesome, but ya...they just make you feel terrible. :p


Btw, I CAN play much better than what I did in the video. That was just some random thing I sat down and played.

Yeah, I believe you can play better than that but even so, the thing is, you're not 3 years old playing that. \:D/

They were all good, but I could only choose two so I voted for Candy because she showed skill by playing multiple songs and for Smaug the Dragon because I have a fondness for the violin.

\:D/ I feel we should be friends! Complimenting the violin is a sure way to win points with me.

Have you ever read Battle Hymn of a Tiger Mother by Amy Chua? It was quite an eye opening book to tiger mother parenting. Everyone did a good job, I liked your violin solo alot Smaug.

I heard about that book, and my mom read it, it definitely was eye opening just hearing her tell about it.

Smaug, I play the violin as well, and I really liked the solo, you sounded very nice.
