Music Lessons
Music is the #1 hobby for my boys. Whether they are listening and shopping iTunes, creating songs on Garage Band, watching American Idol, coming up with new dance moves, playing Guitar Hero or actually playing an instrument, music is HUGE for the Windheims. In shopping around for lessons, I ended up finding a couple of gems at the Newberg Music Company. Myron LeRoy is fine tuning Ben’s pretty amazing skills at the electric guitar and Randy Sage has got Joe drumming and sounding pretty impressive after only 3 months. Both instructors are relaxed, good humored and keep the kids on a great path to learning their instruments. You can reach them through Newberg Music at 503-537-2196
Myron just finished a fun little project for a song he wrote 30 years ago when mechanical bulls were all the rage. An amateur video animator put together a YouTube video for Ain’t No Way. The white-haired singer in the video is a pretty great likeness for Myron himself 🙂 This project led to a professional animator creating a project around some of Myron’s songs and a screenplay he wrote. That will take some time to finish up, but you can check out the early ideas at Fishin’ Blog Pretty neat stuff!
