A little blood pumping ‘classical’ music for your Monday morning. Chopin was actually a composer during the Romantic Period (1820-1910). He lived 39 short years, 1810-1849, but, left an amazing musical legacy in his piano works. Enjoy!
Paul Gilbert playing, “Fuzz Universe.” Monday mornings are better with some shredding guitar! He is part comedian, but, mostly an amazing guitarist, but, there is no doubt he spent lots of time perfecting his chops. You can hear both attributes in his style. Here’s to a great week, Enjoy!
