Ohhhh my. There has been quite a significant amount of time since our last blog. And we apologize. We started back at school. This semester has been crazy for this kid. I have a multi camera production class, which means I'm learning the basics of live television editing. A mass media and culture class, in which I spend a majority of my time discussing The Fabulous Beekman Boys. An environmental literature class, just for fun. A theatre appreciation course, which I am rocking. And finally a writing for radio, television, and film class. I just finished a PSA for that class today.
As for Gela, she has also been busy. She has a class on Wednesday nights that is two and a half hours long. UGH.
Of our most recent adventures, we have met comedian Lee Camp and former Full House star, Dave Coulier. Both did shows at our campus. They were amazingly lovely people and super fun to talk to.
Ummm. We have acquired a bunch of new friends this semester, because *SHOCKER* we are actually DOING things. We went to a Drag Ball, hosted by Open Minded Unity (the gay-straight alliance on campus) And we met an amazing group of people. Also, we have met a vlogger and you all should check out his channel: Will's Doing It!
This honestly was a discovery today--thank you Understanding Mass Communication for contributing to our blog. Today is the day that I found out about a brilliant singer from our college, SUNY Oneonta. I'd like to introduce you to Ryan Quinn.
I'm not gonna lie, I don't much about him. So this is just what I stole from his ReverbNation account:
Ryan is a 20 year old college student attending SUNY Oneonta. He has been playing piano and drums for the majority of his life and has been playing guitar for two years, though singing is his true passion. He started off playing covers in coffee shops in Clinton, NY and has been playing in Oneonta for the last three years, be it alone or with talented friends.
What I do know is that he sings in the campus' a Capella group, Hooked On Tonics. He has done covers of songs ranging from Paramore's "The Only Exception" to Jeff Buckley's "I Want Someone Badly". In the former he displays his guitar skills, while in the latter he amazes us with his piano playing. There are a collection of great videos at his YouTube channel
He also has his own song, "Shade of Blue" posted on his ReverbNation page (which you can download a free mp3).
Gela and I both think that he has a stunning voice that will hopefully be heard across the country. If you are interested in a new musician with that alternative sound, Ryan Quinn is the perfect guy to look up.
