In Lord of the Rings Online tomorrow, I'm performing music at a memorial service

The person who passed away was also a minstrel, and I was able to get a copy of his song collection and I retrofitted it to fit my band, which was useful, so I'll be playing his music, which I hope pleases his friends to hear his music one last time. I didn't know the deceased, but he had pretty good taste in music and was a good arranger.

This will be the second memorial that I've performed. Interestingly, the first one I did I gained a best friend, and she's organizing the memorial for the second group! She recommended me to them, and I'm happy to help. Fortunately my band is large enough to play this guy's songs without alteration, aside from rearranging the instrument order to fit where the instruments are in my band.

I also solicited requests for other music to play, and one song was Paralyzer. There was a lot of music where all I had was a song title, and I had to search and make inferences as to who the band was. And I usually got it right.

And I found this video. Which is pure awesomesauce! The music is good, too.

I greatly enjoy Finger Eleven, and this is a great song.

I'm definitely going to be checking out more of their stuff, loved the choreography of this video!  I also did a song by Evanescence, which is new to me and will be looking more into them.
