You know, I never knew how good a tool YouTube is to hear music that you wouldn't otherwise find anywhere else because of the lack of popularity. I myself am a "failed college musician". but I still know how to read, write, sing, and play a bit of trombone. I have found myself spending most of my free time in the last few weeks just going from video to video listening to all of the a capella music (I am a HUGE fan of it anyway) because I never knew that I could find it here. Lately, I have been going through a bit of a depression bout because I have no musical outlet for my ADD-clogged brain. Music has been my undying passion since I was about 13 years old, but I could never work up the motivation to really work hard. I am being modest when I say that I have been gifted with a quick musical mind, and the talent to physically perform up to my mind's capacity. The ADD has always kept me at arm's reach from success. I think that this next year, my resolution will be to put aside the time and resources to finish 3 pieces of a cappella music, and to join the Barbershop Harmony Society as well as a BHS quartet.
Wish me luck, I'll need it.
