Saturday Stories 29 (catch up)

  So, hi everyone. I know its been one eternity since I've posted but now a days I'm a very busy human being and I'm sorry. Later in this I'll explain why it's been so long. And I'm going to do this a little different I'm going to do it like a newspaper so yeah hope y'all enjoy!!:-) 

 

               GYMNASTICS NEWS OF THE WEEK!!

      NEW SKILL!

    Just hours ago Canada's Elsabeth Black submitted her very first eponymous skill in the code of points at the Paris world challenge cup. The world silver medalist created a brand new Uneven Bars release. It consists of a clear hip circle to a straddle release with a half turn to hang in mixed L grip. Ellie did it so cleanly with very little deduction making it so easy for her to claim the Black.

   So unfortunate!

  Now, some unfortunate news bears. Team USA's Shilese Jones fell while trying to create her first eponymous skill in the code. Her skill consists of a stalder root to a Nabieva. (SAY: Nab EE AY va) (NABIEVA: Named after former Russian gymnast Tatiana Nabieva) (2011 world uneven bars silver medalist) (this release consists of a clear hip circle to a release move in a stretched position) But the 20 year old failed to catch the bar and the code states that the gymnast has to successfully perform it in major international competition for it to carry their name in the code of points. But there are many more opportunities for this impeccable athlete to stamp her name in the code. Shi is also committed to Florida for college. Shi sure can fly! 

Fantastical Floor!

Yep its most people's favorite event Floor Exercise. American gymnast Jordan Chiles hit a beautiful floor routine in the qualification round of the Paris world challenge cup. The UCLA rockstar has gotten a perfect 10 on floor in NCAA in the previous NCAA season.

SATURDAY STORIES CHAPTER 29!!!!!!!!!!

 GOODBYE WISCONSIN!

 "All right" said Nikki to Ozzy. "Lets get goin'" "bye dorm!" they both said at the same time. "Lets go meet the girls in the lobby." Then they walked into the elevator and pressed the floor one button. A few seconds later they all found themselves hugging and saying good bye to Mrs. Lanardo (SAY: lan ARD O) and Mr. Compiask (SAY: com PEE ahsk) "we'll come and visit sometime!" then they finished saying goodbye and ran out to the van that was headed to the airport. Jenny and Lay took a selfie together in front of the window for instagram. caption: "Goodbye beautiful ol' Wisconsin. We love ya'" "We're out of Wisconson" said Mishy. "Its Minnesota time baby!" "Oh yeah!" replied Nikki "Lets do this" stated Ozzy 

                       WHY THOUGH?

 So I said at the beginning that I would tell you why I haven't posted in forever. Mainly two reasons:

1:Sports/Covid- so with this I ended up getting covid unfortunately. Luckily 1 I didn't get it bad 2 no one in my family got it from me. So I got it in an after school club at school so a kid in my group got covid and didn't know it and I was the unlucky out of the three that could of gotten it but it was just me. So yeah that November wasn't fun but I did recover in time for Thanksgiving. Sports I always have games on weekends on Saturdays and Sundays and SCW wise I'm trying to get in touch with someone VERY special so you'll have to wait and see who.

2: School/Mental health- one thing you may not know about me is I have anxiety/selective mutism which I've progressed with a lot through the years. School is a big part of my anxiety. but it also takes a lot of time.

So that's really all about that I will try to post as much as I can I just might not always be on schedule.

                  NFL TIME BABY!!!! 

 So I'm excited for this topic because its just a little game I call who's gonna win da big game.

                When they got to the school party building, they were so excited! They put away their computers immediately and casually walked in with their boyfriends. "Good evening kids!" said Mr. Compiask (SAY: COMP PEE AHSK) "Good evening!" replied all of them at once. They walked into the speech room. "Good evening graduates!" said Mrs. Lanarndo (SAY: LAN AR DOE) "Congrats for making it through college! Have a good rest of your life, enjoy the party and hope to see you again soon!" 

"YAAAAAAAAAAYYYY! WAAAAAAAAAH! WEEEEEEEEEEEH! YAAAHAHOOOOOOOO! WE LOVE YOU MRS. LANARDO!!!!!!!!" 

*crying Mrs. Lanardo* 

They went and enjoyed the party for two hours. They danced, they tried new foods, they played games and so many more! it was epic! finally they had to go back to their dorm. 

They (of course) played more Minecraft.

Sophie Chats With... Scotty Kilwein

Scotty Kilwein, 42, is a piano player at Jellyrolls, a popular dueling piano bar on Walt Disney World’s BoardWalk (fun fact: he’s been playing there since 2002!). When Jellyrolls shut down due to the pandemic in March 2020, Scotty took to playing for family and friends via Facebook Live. His “Lockdown Livestreams” have given rise to a community of friends and supporters affectionately known as “PalPals.”

Scotty earned his bachelor’s degree in music at the University of Dayton (where he was friends with my dad!). He is originally from the Pittsburgh area and went to Upper St. Clair High School. He and his wife, Amanda – the executive producer of the Lockdown Livestreams – have three children (who are also very talented too!): Wilson, 13; Claire, 12; and Emily, 10.

When did you start your interest in music? I was forced to play piano when I was five years old. My parents said, “you have to play the piano.” And I was like, “aww.” Actually, I was really excited about it, and after I did it for a little bit, I just loved it, so I’m glad that they told me I had to do it. And that’s how I first got interested in music.

When did you start your interest in the piano? I always watched my dad playing the piano and I loved it. When I was teeny-tiny, when I was maybe three years old, I had a tiny little toy piano. I would sit down at the toy piano and pretend to play, and my dad would play right next to me for real. So I just pretended, but I always loved the piano. The piano  is such a great instrument, and when I was growing up we had a big piano in our house and it was just a fancy thing I always wanted to be able to do but (my parents) said, “You have to take lessons before you even sit down and try it.”

Why did your “Lockdown Livestreams” start? Well, I started them because everybody was at home and some people were by themselves. We were all told we had to stay inside and we couldn’t go anywhere or do anything, and we were really lucky because we have technology that allows us to connect with each other. Even though you’re in Pennsylvania right now, and I’m in Florida, we have this technology where we can see each other and we can talk to each other, and I thought it would be really great to share my gift of music with people using the technology that we have at our disposal. That’s really why I started the Lockdown Livestreams, because I really thought, how fun would it be to play music for my friends and my family who are all alone and by themselves in their house and It would be really great to make some music for some of my friends. And I was very excited to have so many people join me and it made me feel really good to be able to share the gift of music.

If you hadn’t gone into music, what career path would you have followed and why? There were a lot of different things I thought would be fun, but if it wasn’t going to be music, I would’ve wanted to be a teacher, because I had so many amazing teachers when I was growing up that I thought what a great gift it would be to try to be a cool teacher like all the great teachers that I had. That’s what I really thought I could do. And when I started college that’s what I actually started to do, I went to college to become a teacher, but I soon realized that I wasn’t as good as all the great teachers I had and I wasn’t going to be as great as them, so I focused more on music at that point.

What’s your favorite song(s) to play? I love so many different types of music. I think the only way I can answer it is that my favorite song changes from day to day, and from time to time, and depending on what mood I’m in. My favorite song to play always changes. Some of my favorite bands and singers are Jimmy Buffett and the Beach Boys, just because they have really upbeat, fun music. My favorite classical composer is an American composer from the 1800s, Louis Moreau Gottschalk, and he’s a great composer, I love his classical music.   

I love Frank Sinatra music, and I love Michael Bublé music, those are some of my favorites to play, because I like to pretend to be Frank Sinatra when I sing and I like to try to do different voices like that. Another favorite is anything that makes the audience happy. So even if it’s a song that I’ve played 1,000 times, it can be a lot of fun for me just to see the audience enjoying it.  And believe it or not, Sophie, there are songs that I’ve played 4,000 times.

What’s the hardest song to play on the piano for you?  There are songs that I wish I could play – those are too hard for me to play. That’s a really good question, because if you practice hard enough you can do anything. Some of the classical songs I play are really tricky and I have to force my fingers to do tricky things, so I would say the classical music is really hard. And the songs that have a lot of words are always really hard too, for me to try to remember all the words. Like when I first learned “My Shot,” from Hamilton, it was SO hard, I was trying to remember all the words and they go by so quickly! There’s another song your mom and dad would know called “It’s the End of the World as We Know It,” (by) REM, and that was a really hard song to learn because there’s SO many words.

Another song that was really hard to learn is “God Only Knows,” by the Beach Boys, and it’s a really, really beautiful song, but the notes and the chords were really tricky when I first learned it. And now that’s one of my favorite songs to play, even though it was one of the hardest to learn. And there’s another song called “The Blue Danube Waltz,” and that’s a tricky one too because it kind of jumps all around. My left hand is jumping back and forth and my right hand is jumping back and forth. 

Author's note: Thank you Mr. Scotty  for letting me interview you! It was so much fun! It was my first Zoom interview! It was awesome! Buhbye! (PS: fans, if you want to hear Lockdown Livestreams, follow Mr. Scotty's Facebook page!)

The Kilwein family! (l-r) Amanda, Emily, Wilson, Claire and Scotty
