01 Introduction
Hello composition class, this is my introductory blog and also my first blog ever so please bear with the uninteresting nature of this post. My name is Casey Patterson and I was born and raised right here in West Palm Beach. I started playing soccer when I was 5 years old and have been playing ever since. My parents made me take piano lessons when I was a kid and I hated them but as I grew older I began to love music. I played the saxophone in middle school for band class and enjoyed that so much that I talked to my two best friends, ironically they also decided to pick the saxophone, and said that we should each pick an instrument to learn so that in high school we could start a rock band. I picked the drums much to my parents dismay and have been playing ever since. We ended up forming a band in high school and played a lot of local shows around Florida , our biggest venue being Revolution in Ft. Lauderdale. When it came time for everyone to go away to college we had to split up unfortunately. In the past year I've been making my old guitarist Andrew give me lessons and am loving playing guitar and singing. Him and I hope to start playing acoustic shows around here whenever we feel we're ready. Thanks for listening to my story.

Hi Casey, nice meeting you. It is my first time doing this too so don't worry :) How nice that you been around music and instruments, well unfortunately I don't play anything :( but oh well it is ok! Take care!
ReplyDeleteHello Casey. For starters, your initial post was anything but uninteresting. It caught my attention right away. Fun fact: I used to play the alto saxophone in middle school as well. I didn't stay with it not only because my band teacher was anything but pleasant or encouraging of my budding musical talents, but also due to my growing distaste of the alto's shrill whine that couldn't make up it's mind between wanting to sound deep and sexy (like in a Jazz band) or high pitched and melodious (like a flute or oboe). So there you go. On a side note, my boyfriend is also big into music (as a tenor vocalist and mild "producer" of his own songs) and I've been desperately trying to encourage him to start his own band or join one already formed as a way of better immersing himself in that world. I should have him give you a call. :P Blessed be!
