A Beaker Masterpiece

Beaker at his finest.



A Little Beaker For You



The Music Does the Talking

I am someone who has a lot to say……….except when I need to say something that is deep seeded.  For instance, I was at my brothers wedding last weekend, and I don’t believe that I told him that I loved him while I was there………good going,  Amy.
So instead, I have decided to write a composition [...]



The Anything Radio

I’ve been driving to a certain location to a certain Virginian town everyday.  Interestingly, this location has a radio station that is called this,  “WE PLAY ANYTHING.”  Literally. One moment they’re playing “Moon River” and the next they’re playing “Funky Town.”  I digg it.
Funny……I have wide and similar taste in music……………I LIKE ALL OF IT. [...]



Kelly Clarkson or Joe Jonas……..New American Idol Judge?

It looks as if American Idol is having a hard time trying to figure out who will replace Paula Abdul as judge. So, they are looking for either Kelly Clarkson or Joe Jonas to be guest judges………or shall we say “filler.”  It’s like having a pie crust without the pumkin filling. Bummer.



Music. Do You Really Know What Your Love Is?

It’s completely interactive with a large screen behind the orchestra showing scenes from the movie –all in real time. It looks really cool! Here are some pictures from the set:

If you want to [...]



Simon Cowell…..Good Times Never Seemed So Good

I heard today that Simon Cowell was going to extend his time on American Idol. I thought that this was very interesting–I thought that he was supposed to leave……and then American Idol would be over. Not so, not so…my friend. I guess a $144 million dollar contract is calling his name—I know that he’s [...]



Amy’s 10 Worst Ways to Destroy a Musical Instrument

As you can see, I’ve been dealing with high anxiety surrounding musical instrument care. It really started a few months ago, when I opened my violin case to find that one of my bows had broken in half………..by itself……..without any warning signs. I still don’t know what to make of that. So, here it [...]
