This is such a crazy busy time of year! Between Christmas shoots, cards and orders, shopping and parties, it was so easy to let my birthday fly under the radar. Greg was so sweet to make sure that I got an extra special present this year. He took me downtown Chicago to a trendy venue called the Metro to hear Zoe Keating play. She is an amazing cellist. She plays plugged into a laptop and some foot pedals and she uses live sampling to create the most beautiful melodies. I often listen to her music especially when I'm feeling overwhelmed with my workload. It's powerful and soothing at the same time. We arrived with only minutes to spare before she went on (Chicago traffic stinks!) She started and it brought tears to my eyes. Thank you to my hubby who knew just the perfect gift for me! I definitely recommend checking out her music and site, there are videos of her playing - you really should see her in action:
