Be Imagine Music Studio

Happy Father’s Day 🎸 Here is my dad in 2011 singing Blues My Naughty Sweety Gives To Me.

My dad was my first music teacher and I am so grateful that he taught me to play American finger-style folk guitar.

This was his first live performance after playing for decades. We opened for possibly the greatest Haverhill band of all time, The Four Legged Faithful.

Born with an incredible ear, he can whistle entire Beethoven symphonies from memory. I once asked him how to play the break in Sir Duke and he went over to the piano and very quickly found the melody.

Happy Father’s Day everyone & keep sharing music.

The Wisps playing Seven Nation Army at Haverhill Art Walk

What an awesome performance of this tune! Each member has studied music individually at our studio for voice, drums, guitar and bass.

Thanks again to the Artwalk for having our students.

Here is Aclivity Sensitivity… an original song by Retrograde!

I am so thankful to be helping students create their own original music all these years and then to enjoy the songs because they end up so awesome like this one!

Thanks again to Haverhill Art Walk for having our students play.

This Saturday catch our youth bands at the Here is The Wisps playing their original song “Starlit Eyes” 👀🌌

They wrote this song for Earth Day!

Here are some pf the words: “the sun and the moon make light and dark, my starlit eyes gleam at dawn”

Our bands play at Railroad Square from 2 to 3 PM, come by and cheer them on with me.

“Summertime” from the opera Porgy & Bess was my grandfather’s favorite song and since he was a veteran I chose to learn it for Memorial Day.

I’m playing it more like Billie Holiday’s version which was his favorite singer. Listen to her version, she’s incredible, I couldn’t even try to copy her rhythmic approach to the melody so I kept it simple.

I’m tuned in an unusual way to be able to fit the piece on the guitar. It took me three days to get good at it and even then my takes would be filled with string squeaks lol, this one still has a bunch.

This is what playing an instrument is like. You find a song that you love then you learn to play it on your instrument. Hopefully you share it and hopefully at least one person will enjoy it. Much love and keep creating and remembering passed veterans and family.
