My Adventures In Film Scoring

My Adventures In Film Scoring - Part II

(At Cummer Museum of Art for the Miradas project.)

Home schooling should feel like art, it's enjoyable (largely), so don't worry about overloading the tone of "school" in it. 5.

(c) Some of us have a spouse that gives us all day to do with as we please. (d) Some of us are the spouse that gives the other all day to do as they please. etc. 6. Thus, our ideals aren't applicable to everyone. 7. Th...

Music Playlist Debacle

Where do you host a music playlist, your song collection, where it won't be altered by the host? I go to YouTube, and daily, my playlist is altered. I scroll through my playlist, and songs are missing because they've been blocked, or made private, or deleted. Where do you host your music playlist?
