Tiny Tree Christmas

I love Guster. I love Christmas. I love Target. All three combined? A Merry Christmas for everyone.

My Theme Song

Awhile back someone asked me what my theme song was. A song immediately came into my mind but I wasn't sure that I would call it my theme song. After that I listened to it again and realized that it is my theme song...for right now anyway. So here it is.



What about you? What is your theme song?

CornerView: Music in Downtown Salt Lake

This weeks CornerView required a little out of the box thinking as my main source of music, like many people, is my trusty ipod. But I wanted to give you a little taste of what music around here is like, or more specifically where music around here takes place. As there are many concert halls and amphitheaters I figured the best one to choose would be the oldest, The Tabernacle on Temple Square in the heart of Downtown Salt Lake City.

This is the organ inside the Tabernacle. Currently it is made up of 11,623 pipes

The outside of the Tabernacle is dominated by its dome shaped roof that is made from wood underneath the silver cover. The Tabernacle was completed in 1875.

A view of the organ from the back of the Tabernacle. The acoustics are so good inside the building that you can hear a pin dropped on the pulpit all the way in the back without a microphone. Demonstrations of this are still done today.

Another shot form the outside of the Tabernacle which is still used for concerts and other activites. To learn more about the Tabernacle click here.

So Long March

March is rapidly coming to a close and for some reason this is all that enters my mind as another month wraps up...



Oh, yes my thoughts really are that random.

Things I Love This Week: This Song and Actress

Its been awhile since I have let you all know what I am loving this week. I have loved this song for a long time. You can never listen to this song and feel down. Call it lame, I don't care. My Mom plays this song on the piano and it always brings back happy memories whenever I hear it. So you can only imagine my happiness when my favorite show had the song during its third season open. The best part is that the song is used to introduce us to Juliet played by Elizabeth Mitchell who is quickly rising up my Top Ten list of favorite actresses. I don't know if there is a Team Juliet/Team Kate competition going on but I am totally on Team Juliet! I hope you enjoy this combo of two of my favorite things.
