Alright… all my life I have studied piano and in the past year ore two my abilities and technique sky-rocketed because of all the extra practicing I did. Last Semptember, because of stress from school, I kind of stopped practicing like I used to even though I still did piano lessons and competitions. I was still good this past school year according to my teacher, but I know myself that my technique is totally gone that I had before. Now it’s summer again and there is less stress and I’m getting extremely interested in practicing the piano again, thoroughly. I’m kind of scared, like I’ll never get that effortless technique back that I had before. How much practice do you think it will take to get it back? Do you think it’s still in me after months of barely any REAL practice?

Michelle Your Belle ♥ L.Z. – queen is #15

"The voice just stopped you in your tracks. Hillbilly haywire with a lonesome Kentucky edge that added a little chrome to those Cadillac pipes, it wasted no time in grabbing your soul by the lapel. When you listened to Gary Stewart sing, you kind of held your breath, wondering if he’d get out of the song alive. He’d swoop down on words, elongate syllables and growl around his range, then spit out the chorus. At a time when many roots-conscious rockers were trying to add a little country to their rock ‘n’ roll, Gary went the other way ’round with a vengeance. "Stewart didn’t really fit in anywhere," writes Jim Lewis. "He wasn’t Southern rock, and he wasn’t Nashville country." Amen to that. Gary Stewart was a weird, frustrating and often thrilling genre unto himself.
Live, if Stewart was on his game, look out. A long-haired runt of a guy with only a scary grin breaking the dark shadows beneath his cowboy hat, Stewart rode an audience like bucking a bronco. Suddenly possessed by the spirit, he’d throw the band a curve by ambling over to the piano and, caressing the keys with the crude, rhythmic whimsy of Skip James, lurch into an impromptu version of Merle Haggard’s "I Can’t Be Myself" with the herky-jerky rhythm of a marionette that had cut its own strings. Many were afraid of Stewart, spooked by his sheer wattage, but in moments like this he looked as fragile and forlorn as an empty champagne glass on a barroom floor. Say the wrong word to Gary and he’d shatter.

His was a music of dangerous, wild abandon, and for a few years there in the seventies, Stewart cut a string of ferocious, magnificent recordings, some of them hits: "She’s Actin’ Single (I’m Drinkin’ Doubles)." "Drinkin’ Thing. " "Out of Hand." "Your Place or Mine." "I Had to Get Drunk Last Night." "Single Again." "Shady Streets." "In Some Room Above the Street." "Stone Wall (Around Your Heart)." Comparisons were frequently made to Jerry Lee Lewis, but to these ears Gary was more of a countrified Roky Erickson: a voice that came screaming from another dimension, and one that contained more than a hint of madness. Perhaps the only singer with phrasing as perverse is Bob Dylan, himself a Stewart fan. While touring with Tom Petty in Florida, Dylan went out of his way to meet him, confessing that he’d played Stewart’s ode to marital malaise ‘Ten Years of This’ over and over, the record casting a spell over him. But then it was easy to be bewitched by Gary.

"I’m only goin’ through once an’ I’m goin’ through in style," threatened Stewart in his low-down theme song, ‘Little Junior.’ Did he ever. Car crashes, drug busts and overdoses, missed gigs, label firings, mental breakdowns, domestic battles–chaos followed him like a puppy on a chain. To rip off a line from Billy Joe Royal, Gary Stewart burned like a rocket. But no longer, because on December 16, 2003 his body was found in his Florida home, dead by his own hand."
(Jimmy McDonough)

piano chords by bands such as mae and The Rocket Summer and Relient K?

i was watching the new rocket summer video and I could have sworn i’d seen a music video similar to it that things kept popping out of the piano?

i thought it was augustana or aqualung but I can’t find a video like that when i search on youtube. does anyone know?

ok, first of all, I love The Academy Is… and like The Rocket Summer, and The Audition, and Coheed and Cambria, Sherwood, and The Hush sound, something corporate, and Jack’s Mannequin. my friends are are all worried about me cause they think im going to go emo. im really happy, all the time. and really gullible. so basically, theres no possible way i could go emo. but, then i wear the chuck taylor hightops, and i have like 10 pairs of them. i shop at pac sun and hot topic and wear band shirts a lot. i wear the thick glasses, just cause im legally blind. and i play the piano, and the guitar, and play a lot of emo songs. i do not cut myself. im very social. i go to starbucks… a lot. so, in ur opinion, am i turning emo, or am i just a very unique person amongst my preppy friends?

Any at all that have a sort of Ballad sound, also if they use alot of piano or acoustic. Or any bands like….
- Parachute
- Missy Higgins
- A Fine Frenzy
- Mayday Parade
- Secondhand Serenade
- A Rocket to The moon
- Death Cab For Cutie
- Evanescence (the song My Immortal is a perfect example)
- Relient K (the song "The Thief" is a perfect example)

Sorry if you have seen this question before, I HAVE asked it like twice before but noone answered and I let them expire on accident.
