Hello, I am a pianist from Canada and have Asperger's syndrome (my name is Holly). Since my diagnosis 20-odd years ago, I have gone on to get my B. Music in Piano Performanc and B. Ed (AD) in Elementary Education and am now an Elementary Music teacher (Which isn;t easy at the best of times). I have taken to performing on Youtube and recorded 43 videos of my piano playing! I have linked up my favouirte performances here...enjoy!

Hi, Holly. With a user name like bombergal, my first guess would be that you're from Winnipeg, Manitoba.
(If not Winnipeg, then I'll have to follow my mental list of other cities and towns in Manitoba: Brandon? Portage La Prairie? Flin Flon? What other ones? Hmm....)

A poet from Winnipeg, Man.
Wrote verses that never would scan.
When asked why this was,
He said: "That's because
I want to squeeze every word into the last line of each of my limericks that I possibly can." :wink:

bombergal=fan/supporter of the Winnipeg Blue Bombers.

(One of my bosses at work cheers for the Blue Bombers as well; he did his undergraduate degree at the University of Manitoba and is a Winnipegger by background, so I can't complain too much.)

If you're as familiar with the Canadian Football League as you seem to be, it shouldn't be hard to figure out which CFL team gets the support of EdmontonAspie (Hint: I've always lived north of Red Deer.

I am actually from Brandon and a HUGE Blue Bombers fan! I got both of my degrees at Brandon University and am now recording music on youtube (I've been wanting to do this for a long time). Hope everyone enjoys it...that's my main goal!

I liked the Mario world one :) Ahhh nostalgia! I can play self-taught piano but not quite to that standard! Plus I only just learnt to read music last year...

I am just reporting that I haven't had a lot of views on my channel and I'm wondering why...maybe I should do more popular songs. I specialize in video game music because some of those melodies are the best I've ever heard (like the Zelda main theme, Super Mario Bros, Final Fantasy X).

I also don't have any views on my youtube videos, but actually they were just meant to be shown to friends. But anyway, I didn't even tag them, so they won't be shown in the first billion pages of the youtube search if you enter something like "music".^^
and since videos in youtube are listed by popularity, an unknown one will never be shown in the first row and never be watched by many people. And that leads to the conclusion, that they have no chance for getting popular. I don't know how to promote my youtube profile or yours but maybe posting it here is a small beginning. If you'd like me to, I will give them thumbs up and write nice comments to the ones I like the most :)
Well, I'll just do it, hope it will help you ;)
