It’s one of those happy / sad days here at our house. Tonight is our last High School Prom – our baby Carly is all grown up! And her sister Abby drove away at 7:00 am this morning. Day-one of her “big girl” job at Enterprise Car Rental. But again, that’s what kids do. If… 
Free Music Friday – 5/18
Free Music Friday – 5/11 Emotional Roller Coaster
I was in another Instructor’s very popular class this week. My main purpose was to experiment with the new Stages iPhone App that works with the FreeMotion console. Review coming this weekend. My secondary objective was to see what I could learn from him, that I could apply in my class. This class is very popular for a… 
Free Music Friday – Audition Music for 4/20
In my post yesterday about auditioning as a Life Time Fitness Instructor, if I only had three minutes to show my stuff… what music would I use? I suggested that you should use a track that you enjoy teaching to. Now I’m re-thinking it… I actually auditioned at two Life Time clubs and both times I taught… 
Friday Favorite
I received a note from Keith Burnage from Cadence Revolution asking that I share this with you. Hi John, I thought you might be interested in the following and if possible help to spread the word to promote this song about Rob Wein. Rob is one of the Kanata 5, one of five cyclists involved… 
Free Friday Favorite 2/10
Where have I been? Why didn’t I know about this artist? I was talking to a friend today and she told me that she was on-line last night trying to get tickets for this concert. It was nearly impossible!!! OK, I’ll bite. Who is this band that sells out almost immediately? It’s Florence + The Machine and I’m… 
Free Music Friday 11/4 – Is it November already ?
What the heck happened to September and October? Oh well.. Another British band makes the list for today’s Friday Favorite. Their sound and versatility is so interesting. I first heard them on “Grey’s Anatomy” and I tracked down the season’s soundtrack to get this particular song. It is the perfect length (5:27 ) and rpm’s… 
Free Music Friday 6/17
Every once in a while, an artist comes along that blows me away…grabs me with their extraordinary talent and I cannot get enough of them. That describes this week’s artist from Fargo, ND (although I like to consider him from Minneapolis – that’s where his band and first album release is from). His voice is… 
Free Music Friday for 6/10
In my mind there are two categories of music: fake and real. Fake music is synthesized and real music is human beings playing instruments and truly singing, not just pretending to. For those of us that have to endure our kid’s music, the distinction is necessary and appreciated. Today’s Friday Favorite is “The Big Money”… 
Free Music Friday for 4/29
This guy’s voice pretty much rocks my world. Plus, most of his lyrics are awesome and safe, so I don’t feel like I have to audit through the entire CD reading and listening for things that will offend my class…a big time saver. His style is best described as “Bayou Soul”, which translates to a… 
Free Music Friday – another hers and his
I love when I pull a song from an old playlist and remember instantly why I liked it so much. This is one of those songs that really moves me, and seems to move my classes as well because I have been getting a lot of great feedback about this tune. At exactly 5 minutes,…
