LOVE STORY meets VIVA LA VIDA
Piano & Cello arr by Jon Schmidt & Steven Sharp Nelson

Hi...Jon Schmidt here. This arrangement is dedicated to Sarah, my 7 year old daughter who loves the song Love Story by Taylor Swift. Because of a common rhythm element between the tunes, I decided I could mish/mash the two. My great friend Steven Sharp Nelson (cello percussion) really makes this tune. The download will be available from my site (http://www.jonschmidt.com/) in a couple of weeks. The entire album which will be titled "Bonus Tracks" will be available on iTunes summer 2009. Sheet music will also be available at my site May 2009. I am an unsigned recording artist and composer.

Inspired by:
LOVE STORY (Taylor Swift)
VIVA LA VIDA (Coldplay)

Ventriloquism is an act of stagecraft in which a person (a ventriloquist) manipulates his or her voice so that it appears that the voice is coming from elsewhere. The act of ventriloquism is ventriloquizing and the ability to do so is commonly called in English the ability to "throw" one's voice.

Vitiligo ~ Skin Disorder

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vitiligo

Vitiligo is a relatively common chronic disorder that causes depigmentation in patches of skin. It occurs when the melanocytes, the cells responsible for skin pigmentation which are derived from the neural crest, die or are unable to function. The precise pathogenesis, or cause, of vitiligo is complex and not yet fully understood.
