I mentioned in my previous post If You’re Hankerin’ To Start Fiddlin’…Or Playin’ Any Stringed Instrument that I stumbled upon a gold mine when searching the internet one day…that gold mine is Michael Sanchez and his websites violintutorpro.com and superiorviolins.com. Superior Violins is the store component of these sister sites and was reviewed in my previous …

I came across Michael Sanchez of superiorviolins.com several years ago, quite by accident. I played violin decades ago and was considering trying to pick it up again.

Leave a Comment / movies, music, recreation, religion / By davemackey

Love and Hate Relationship On occasion I receive screener copies of films (these days they tend to be digital rather than physical) and usually these are Christian films. I have a love/hate relationship with the Christian movie industry. I want to see good Christian films but the vast majority are crap so when I received …

Dear Spotify

Leave a Comment / music, recreation, services, technology, web / By davemackey

I’ve been using Spotify for 2+ years now, it deserves a longevity award. It also deserves some sort of honor for being one of the few subscription services I dole out for on a monthly basis – placing it alongside Netflix – and everybody has Netflix. In spite of a number of other options, including …

Water Within’s Better Off Broken (Song)

Leave a Comment / ministry, music, religion / By davemackey

I’m always stumbling around looking for new musical artists…and Spotify surfaced a band called Water Within. I’d never heard of them and their songs all had well under 2,000 listens – indicating they aren’t very popular. Usually this means that they aren’t very good…but on rare occasions…such as this one…it means they are amazing and …

Leave a Comment / music, recreation, video / By davemackey

The Song & Videos I’d never heard of the band Magic! before their song Rude began to dominate the air waves. I must confess that I enjoy the song – even though I feel ambiguous about its lyrics. The song has an upbeat and happy feel to it, at its best speaks of true love unwilling …

A long, long time ago (okay, I really don’t remember how long ago – but in internet time, it has been a long time) I signed up for a program called HitBliss. It allowed me to watch a few videos and earn cash. I think I could cash out back in the old days, I’m …

I Want My Music To Follow Me.

Leave a Comment / household, music, productivity, recreation, software, technology, work / By davemackey

Android: WiFi Speaker When working around the house we oftentimes want to move from room to room cleaning, organizing, resting – but we feel limited because the music is playing off our laptop or stereo system and if we leave the room we won’t be able to hear the song anymore. If it is a …
