My First Blog



I have links to loved ones blogs that I enjoy reading very much but never thought to create one of my own. Until today. As I was talking to sweet Jess about my adventures in art lessons she suggested creating one so she can keep up with my progress. That blog will be entered later:) So today I want to talk about my title. Pieces of April. The story is told that once upon a time my dad was a bit of a hippie. He enjoyed all the perks of the 70's, long hair, doing drugs, awesome clothes, crazy music, ect.... There is a song by Deep Purple called The Pieces of April to which the name April is said only once and you have to listen close to hear it. Now this is an eight minute song with the classic guitar solo that last 4 of those 8 minutes. Rumor has it that when he heard this "deep" song he knew that was what he had to name his first daughter April. So to bring this story to an end here I am. Thanks dad for not backing down and naming me April. Compared to some of the names my mom would have chose I feel lucky. Its a good name.
