Anderson & Roe Piano Duet: Most Entertaining Piano Duo
No piano duet can be more entertaining, sensual and emotional than the performances of Anderson & Roe Piano Duet! I was watching their “Blue Danube Fantasy” just before I went to bed last night and I ended up awake and inspired for at least three hours after that!
The Roosters Have Arrived!
Do they look real? I think they do! These two roosters which were purchased from www.wildlifetrasures.com will be the fighting cocks to be used at “Ana Maria”, a Filipino-sarzuela by Antonio Molina and Severino Reyes at PhilFest 2012! Wildlife Treasures is a shop based in Ely, Minnesota and apparently, they are one of the few stores that carry lifesize realistic chickens. These and other wildlife items are available by visiting their site or calling (888) 669-0956. Debbie, the lovely receptionist, will guide you through the whole ordering process in a breeze!

I just discovered The Piano Guys at youtube and I think they are awesome! Just listen to how exciting this “Harry Potter” cover sounds! They have all these videos on youtube, each one more unique than the other. I especially like this one, “Somewhere Over the Rainbow/Simple Gifts” and “Cello Wars (Starwars Parody)”.
