Young Woman Bass Player
Trish is a band member in the band Sunlight Ascending. She plays bass guitar. I found this photograph of her on Flickr. It has a Common Creative license so I have given attribution on the resulting derivative image.
I opened it in Paint.NET and used the Artistic> Pencil Sketch filter and saved the image. Bringing it into PhotoPaint I used the Effects> Texture> Plastic filter on it to give it a slight 3D dimension to it. This also gave it the color I selected in it's properties window. Click on the image for the larger view.
I have a new microphone stand with the boom ordered for it. We got it at Pontiac Music and Sound in Clarkston, Michigan. It is an anniversary present from my wife. She got tickets to the American Idol show here in August at the Palace in Auburn Hills, Michigan, as her gift. We have been watching the show quite regularly this season and have enjoyed the performances as well as the mentors selections. It is our 34th wedding anniversary, we have known each other since 1970 - 39 years. Seems short looking back.
Some may find American Idol less than likable, in fact annoying. This year they have had the best performers in a long time. So we have been following it. Now it is down to Kris Allen and Adam Lambert. Both are talented individuals. It will be an interesting finish.
We don't vote for anyone we just watch the show. We endeavor to see the best in all the performers and remain unbiased. If you like Rock - Adam Lambert is strong in that area, Kris is quieter and has the ability to put across jazz-like contemporary interpretations of his songs.
All in all it remains what your taste is and what you may like or dislike in contemporary music.
