The Blog Schedule, a Giveaway, and a Video

by · March 1, 2012

This is just a quick post to let you know a couple of things. First, I have updated my blog schedule. Starting this month, Monday’s article will be a writing-related post, Wednesday’s will be Road Trip Wednesday, and Friday will be a fun article–usually some kind of Friday Fives. I will also continue to post a devotional each Sunday morning, and the notes from our church Sunday School class on Tuesdays, as long as the class met the previous Sunday. Make sense? It’s all nicely laid out in the “Blog Schedule” page; just click on the tab above.

Second, this month (March) is my birthday month. Yay! I am planning a giveaway to celebrate my birthday, so keep an eye out for that. My birthday is on the 24th, so the giveaway will launch a couple of weeks before. It’ll be a nice one, too, so I hope you’ll participate!

Finally, Juliana Haygert posted a link to this video on Twitter. It’s of a guy called Richie Castellano, and he is performing Queen’s “Bohemian Rhapsody”–on his own! It’s not often you find multi-instrumentalists who are also really great singers (at least in my experience), but that describes Richie. One very talented dude. Check it out:

    People with musical talent like that blow my mind.

    And Bohemian Rhapsody is one of my favourite songs of all time.

    That guy is awesome! I love videos like this. One of my other favourites is ‘Star Wars (John Williams Is The Man)’ on youtube. Definitely check that out if you get the opportunity. Totally in awe of music talent like this.

    […] Last March, Juliana Haygert put me on to this guy called Richie Castellano. Richie plays guitar for the band Blue Öyster Cult, and he’s what I would call the musician’s musician. He’s a phenomenal singer, and plays multiple instruments (guitar being his forté). In the video Juliana tweeted, Richie performed Queen’s “Bohemian Rhapsody” using overdubs and split-screen (if you’ve not seen it, you really need to–even if you’re not a fan of the song). Well, last week, my brother pointed me to a new video Richie has posted where he does a similar kind of overdubbed, split-screen version of The Beatles’ “Abbey Road” Medley (i.e., the last couple of songs on that classic 1969 album: “Golden Slumbers/Carry That Weight/The End”). Here’s the video: […]
