My name is Alec & I will be your blogger today.

I figure I should write a short introduction for myself (and I will recommend that my co-blogger do the same). I have a great love for this little thing we call music. I really began listening to music seriously around 6 years ago (I'm young, give me a break) and it was love at first listen. My step dad is an audiophile who that got me involved in it with classic rock. Foreigner, AC/DC, Zeppelin, Def Leppard, and the likes.

My favorite song back then was Jukebox Hero. I have since greatly branched out. I listen to all sorts of music (though I must admit, not much rap or country). Most recently I have found a great love of folk music, but listen to a lot of alternative music, but my styles vary greatly. I will give most anything a shot if it's recommended to me.

I also am a musician. I play the Tuba in the Symphonic Band at my high school as well as sing in the Choir. I formerly played trumpet in band and still do from time to time. Outside of that my main instrument is in Guitar. I play many styles, from 7 string metal to fingerstyle classical and many in between. I play a lot of bass as well. I play bass for my school's Jazz band as well as in 2 small friend's bands (I play guitar for them from time to time). I play a bit of piano on occasion, but I also like to dabble in other instruments, having picked up family instruments of clarinet, harmonica, banjo, and accordion. I hope to actually accomplish some on the latter 3. 

Basically, it's safe to say that my 120 gigobyte Zune is filled, my shelves are packed with vinyls and musical doodlings, and the floor space and wall space of my room is rather filled by instruments and my stereo.

Hopefully we'll actually begin to write some stuff here soon.

Signing out!
