OK, the retirement gig was one of the BEST decisions in my life! (I really should try to upload our demo here) Apparently the best guy ever(B, you might remember "Gramps" ) recommended us, and we got a 50-years married anniversary gig. Only about 300 people will come to see us... *exiteeeed* Oh, and I'll soon try to upload one of our best covers in Youtube.

First gig done! Check cashed from the bank! New piano for FSM bought! Epic Baldwin! And we all were "sick", if you get what I mean... NO WORK OR THE ACADEMY! PURE WIN! We all stressed this, now I can say: For nothing! This is so fun and great to do.
The final practice was just chaos. We woke up 5:30 and rushed to the church practice. Unfortunately, I wasn't allowed to practice with the church's BIG pipe organ. Well, the theme of the wedding was like "Winter In Summer", which was a horrible idea. After the church, we rushed AND I MEAN RUSHED to the reception. We were allowed to leave an hour ago. We're still going back later to get our stuffs back. (ugh, I can't imagine if some kid goes playing with our pianos)

The Wedding VGM Analysis:

Mt. Travail for organ(Bespinben made it to piano, I adapted it for organ): EPIC SUCCESS! Even though I had to actually read the sheets while playing. I usually never do that.

Romance in the Air(Bespinben): My friend Make here wants to thank you. Make says:
"Bespinnen(YEAAH), your arrangement was wonderful, the peoples' faces were awesome to look while we played."
The alto sax added awesome sound to that! Seriously, one of the best piece I've ever played!

Fi's Gratitude(Bespinben & ALPRAS): Make says:
"Easily the best version out of all of the other arrangement of that! Otso, put a smiley face."

Sharpedo Bluff(Bespinben): Also very great, easy to play and sounded nice! Even though it was clearly made in a rush, it was easy to hide.

Solo Menu: Because Bespinnen(lol) wasn't able to finish this, we played this with only guitar and sax. It was tricky, but we still got a huge applause from the crowd.

Solo Menu(Viridi)(Bespinben): Absolutely horrible sheets. No offense. But it actually worked very nice as a background for guitar! The PM came at the last three minutes! While I was up there playing the organs, they went to the priest's house to print the sheets! Then Make wrote a better ending for that. I played by ear with my guitar. This is a great example that things can go wrong, but it doesn't mean you're not able to fix it.

Together Menu: Just a jazz cover of that song.

Lightning Battle: Easily the hardest and complicated song we played. But oh god, it was epic!

FA- Swamp(Bespinben): Great, and the acoustic guitar added great backing for that track.

FA- Steppe(Bespinben): ALOT people danced. Even a couple kids. So beautiful... :'D

Gerudo Valley(spitllama): I really recommend people to find a duet partner just to play this song. Spit, it was the BEST VGM-piano piece I've EVER heard! No offense others. Spit, it was FLAWLESS(*absolutely flawless*) when it came to the sound. The guitar also added few great surprises. Like, The Great Sea was also secretly added)

Jizzy Jazzy Overworld(fingerz): Epic, I even play this on free-time with Make. This piece was also fun to play and sounded awesome! It was kinda short, so I looped it a bit.

Couple's Dance: There's no words. I'll try to make PDF of this sometime. So GREAT!


I hope everybody there will give HUGE applause to Bespinben, the guy who made this all happen. We all love you, man!

Spit needs a bit of self-esteem.  You are an AWESOME arranger.

Get Your Kicks on Route 66.

There's a song by Johnny cash (I think it's his original, maybe it's a cover) called "I've been everywhere" where there's the names of a bunch of American cities between choruses. The only thing is that it would be hard to memorize the lyrics since there's so many city names. I had to do it for a school musical and it was a pain.

Thanks, but that's nooooot the kinda thing I'm looking for.
