A Closer Look...

Wherever I perform, people ask for a little closer look at how I play the spoons to Rock-and-Roll, Jazz and Swing music. So, I've created a video to give you a closer look, and linked it from YouTube to my video bar at the bottom of this page. Enjoy it, then email me and let me know what you think. I always enjoy comments from my audiences and blog visitors.

New Fun Videos on my Video-Bar

Yesterday I posted a new video to YouTube, and today it showed up on my video-bar at the bottom of my blog! What a fun and easy-to-use feature! The new video features the Rhythm Bones (the rhythm instrument some archeologists have deemed to be the oldest of all.)

Today I uploaded a video of me demonstrating the easy-play spoons I mentioned in my previous blog posting. It should show up on my video-bar sometime today or tomorrow.

Thanks again for checking my MusicThatCooks blog. And please remember to bookmark it!

Making Music ..... easily

On my videos, and in performances too, I play regular spoons right out of the kitchen drawer (actually, I often play spoons from the silver drawer), but since holding the spoons properly is tricky for younger children, I'm including a link to some spoons that are fastened at the handle. The MUSICAL SPOONS by Trophy Music will serve with minor adjustment. The pair I bought came out of the box with a little too much space between, but can easily be squeezed together to bring them about 1/8 inch apart (as long as they are close but not touching.) The price is nominal at $5.29 plus shipping. If you purchase from the linked text, Amazon pays me a tiny commission, but either way, I wanted to make the link accessible to my site visitors.

I also sometimes accompany myself with songs that are preloaded on my Yamaha keyboard--as on my DVD: The Rhythm Chef's Secrets to Making Music that Cooks with the SPOONS. The keyboard that Amazon has that is similar to my own, and at the time of this writing is an unusually good bargain, is the Yamaha YPT-220 portable keyboard with 102 songs loaded into it's internal database of music. Besides the discount, it's an even better bargain considering the fact that a keyboard stand is included.) Also, the keyboard has the same amazing Y.E.S. learning system built in that my children used to learn to play. It is both helpful and fun to use. The quality is very good--after years of use, mine still works perfectly, even the speakers. The best part is that the built-in songs make a great accompaniment while performing the spoons!

A Video To Put a Grin On YOUR Face...

I made a home-video for you all, and I posted it to YouTube for laughs. I'm embedding the link here to make it easy to view. I hope it lifts your spirits!

I've also put a video bar at the bottom of the page, so watch this bar as my videos grow in number, then click on the images and a video frame with open and play my video to make you smile. :0)

FIY: The videos that appear at the bottom of the video, after you view mine, are automatically loaded from YouTube, and most are unrelated to my blog.
