hello.

Hello.. Its me again.

This post is dedicated to my sister Angela Rae Takahashi. I love and miss you! This is proof that Erika has taught me how to play some Gee Tar.. i just started learning on Tuesday. its not too great yet. But playing has really helped me to feel close to Ang when she is so far away.. Thanks Angie for always bringing music into my life and always sharing your songs with me. I dont' know if anyone really knows about what it was like when we shared a room... at the time i didn't think i would look back on that time and miss it as much as i do... Angie discovered guitar and would often play most of the night, if not all night.. and sometimes i would sleep and sometimes i would just listen to her. Angie (like all my family) is very talented and has always had a way with writing songs, singing them and accompanying herself on the guitar.

Thanks to Erika for teaching me and singing with me.. i'm not a singer so this is kinda huge. And her patience in teaching me was greatly appreciated. Thanks to Schuyler Fisk for her song.. it is a little sad, but a good first song to learn. Remember i just started playing guitar since tuesday.. i'm not soo good yet and i realize that the video doesn't ACTUALLY show all of the guitar, but it is me playing.

I hope you enjoy Ang. Love you and miss you!

That was impressive! You're obviously a quick learner! voices on my speaker are high for some reason but I could still tell the singing was amazing, I didn't hear anything "pitchy dawg".

Keep up the great work, and the bond is so strong with you and your sisters that you were subconsciously there for Ang when she needed you...family is wonderful.

Okay, I listened to the video with the sound acurate, and that is very impressive, and Alana, you can sing VERY well. I would buy the cd. And to think of how you must be playing today(Monday)....
