Work hard, play hard - back on the blogscene

It's been a long time since I've made the time to sit down with my blog. Not to mention I have been away (adding to time gap). Spent some time in Chicago, a special place. A musical city. I did not have enough to fully absorb all the music scene there has to offer. I shall return one day...

Anyone who loves music should spend some time there. I visited the House of Blues a couple of times. This felt surreal because I have seen so many live performance recordings at House of Blues venues, it was pretty stellar actually being there. Live. The city had much to offer musically and there was always something to do at night, not only on the music scene, some kitchens stay open until 2am!!! Good luck finding places that do that here in Cape Town. I am sure they exist but are few and far between.

Now why have I had time to go on holiday but not had the time to add any blog posts? Well, with a new role to perform and an old role to handover (and continually assist with), there is only so much one girl can do! Goodbye series... I have fallen behind on everything. No spoilers please! I'll get to them eventually.

And what else did I decide to do while already struggling to juggle it all? Sign up for courses!!! But not just any courses. I have decided to take my mind off accounting (my profession) and dedicate some of my time to something I love. *Music*.

While so many people I know are continually trying to study further to make themselves more marketable in the workplace, I have chosen courses to help me *stay sane.* There is only so much accounting I can stomach and these courses take my mind off things a bit.

So I am doing an Introduction to Music Production course as well as a Songwriting course. To my surprise, these courses actually require a lot of work! The reason I am telling you this, is you may see an assignment here or there being posted in this regard.

Luckily my blog is the "Rantings & Ravings of a Music Junkie" - so any assignments will be music related and they will be in lesson form so hopefully you will learn a thing or two as well!

I am completely new to all of this. While being an avid music fan for most of my life, I have never quite had the opportunity to study and try and create music my own. So I look forward to the journey and also sharing it with you.

I would like to hear from everyone else. If music means a great deal to you I would like to connect with you. Drop me a line. I love getting to know like minded people :)
