For the full list go to 52nd Grammy Award Winners

My Opinion of the awards:

All of the awards were fair enough, but i have to disagree with the Best Rock Album. Green Day is a good band and all but there is no way they can win the award having the classic/legendary AC/DC competing with them with their new album "Black Ice" (FYI, AC/DC are currently on their tour "Black Ice").

Taylor and Beyoncé really deserve all the awards, they "dominated" 2009....

Comedy awards were useless in my opinion... but whatever...

2009 End Of Year School Presentation

Today is the day for the 2009 end of year "show" that my music school is organizing. All the students were invited to play songs as a "show what you learned" kind of way. The school books a bar and for about 4-5 hours the students play songs of their choice with a band.

This is my 2nd "show" and this time i'm going to play 2 of rock and roll's greatest hits. The so called " rock and roll anthem" and an ACDC classic, "Rock and Roll All Night - Kiss" and "Back in Black - ACDC".

We have practiced with the band and it sounds good, i'm doing the rythm guitar on Back in Black and i'm doing the lead on Rock and Roll All Night.

I hope that everything goes out fine...

In case I play the song well, i'll be sure to post the video here on "The Rocker".

ROCK AND ROLL :)

So... this is my last post for this semester :)
