The Flockless Shepherd
by Gary Friedman
140 pages, $14.95

This is a story of redemption, forgiveness, integrity and love. It’s about finding our path in life and discovering our gifts. It is the story of a young man who, lying on his death bed, makes a promise to God. “If You save me, I will live my life in service to You.” Who among us has not made a similar promise at some point in our life. But what would happen if we were held to that promise? David was. Accompany him on his journey from New York to Georgia and back again, touching the lives of everyone he meets along the way.

Gary Friedman is a Canisius College alumnus, and coached the Canisius women’s soccer team for 11 years. His three vastly different careers: retail management, education, and working for the federal government, have exposed him to people from all walks of life. Like his shepherd, he has always sought to lift up those around him and touch their lives in a positive way.

Percussion 101: How to Play Hand Crash Cymbols

Young Girl Plays Cymbals The hand cymbals (or crash cymbals ) are extremely versatile percussion instruments . The hand cymbals are used in the military, drum and bugle corps , the orchestra, and wind ensembles. Proper percussion hand cymbal technique takes many years of practice and hard work, as well as stamina and upper body strength. The most common use of the hand cymbals is in the drum line, whether in a high school band or a professional drum and bugle corps. Two cymbals are held by straps to the cymbal player's hands. In marching band and drum and bugle corps, the cymbal player often will loop their own hand in the strap, then grab the strap. Protect Your Hands Tape, strap pads, and gloves are often used to protect the cymbal player's hands from blisters and the slow grinding away of skin during a lengthy band show. In the orchestra setting, where the crash cymbal is often reserved for music accents and shorter music passages, the percussion player does...

Machinima Magic using Moviestorm, Final Cut, and Photoshop

For those who have been wondering about the hiatus here at the New Music Resource, wonder no more! The past six months I have been working on a sci-fi machinima musical Libertaria: The Virtual Opera . Created almost entirely in the machinima software platform Moviestorm and scored with a catchy combo of electronic music, film scores, and dramatic vocals, Libertaria has been an incredible collaborative project. Moviestorm has been an excellent and inexpensive way to create an entire epic sci-fi tale for a minimal amount of resources. Almost three years ago I started using Moviestorm for a variety of video projects, and then decided to make an entire feature length musical using only machinima. The project proved challenging, involved a couple of dozen singers, animators, and other artistic professionals volunteering their talent and resources to create an incredible feature. W atch a the lo-res version of the song Pilar of the Underground from Libertaria: The Virtual Opera : ...
