About Me

Hey Reader,

My name is Dale and music is my sale! There are at least 45 words that rhyme with my name. See if you can find more! Currently most of my time is taken up by school and work at Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah. I come from the Salt Lake Valley originally and love to make music, especially when that music involves singing. Here are a few of the big things you should know about my life and where the majority of posts on this blog come from.

Religion - As a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, I am often participating in activities with my local congregation. I believe in the values explained by Jesus Christ, recorded in the Bible and the Book of Mormon. The standards set forth in the Gospel of Jesus Christ are the standards and commandments that will allow us to live with God and our families for eternity. If you want to know more, you can definitely check out my profile at mormon.org or ask about how you can meet with the missionaries.


Barbershop - While I enjoy singing almost anything, barbershop music is my favorite to perform. This is my third year as a member of the Barbershop Harmony Society, a music foundation that I hope to participate in for years to come. As a member, I volunteer lots of time to sing with the Provo Chorus, The Mountain West Voices. You can check out some of the music we make on our Youtube channel.

Happy Doo da Day!

Dear Readers, You'll all be pleased to know that I accomplished something recently. It involves music and I feel very proud of myself. I was selected by our music director to play in our school's concerto night sometime during the month of May. This is one of the few things I've been hoping to do for a very long time. Although, there are a few reservations about being part of this honor. One of which deals with how the selection process works. I know it doesn't matter in the least bit, but I can't help thinking about me being picked as a senior. I tried out last year and did not make it as one of the soloists. I have to assume that had to be part of the process in selecting someone when looking at the list of soloists. They are all amazingly talented people in music, many of which were part of Concerto night last night. Most of the ones who were not participated in the Spring Concert as soloists. See what I mean? It could be possible that I was picked merely because

You make me dance like a fool, forget how to breath, shine like gold...

Dear Readers, Ok, so I can't fit the entire title into the title box. It's a good song, go look it up: "You make me smile." The title can apply to anyone, I've found. The rest of the lyrics would probably refer to a best friend or a significant other, but anyone can make you smile. They all have the own way of doing it. Some are just funny all the time and you can't help smiling when you're around that person. I know some who take care of people so well that you just smile when they're doing something for another. Others you can talk to about your problems and no matter what they say, it seems to make sense and you feel better...thus a smile. Ok, a smile doesn't always come in that case, but people usually smile after that. Anyone can have a blonde moment and make everyone smile because of it. I'm glad I've got friends who can do all of these: have blonde moments, take care of others or have an episode of hyperactivity that you can't he

That's What Makes the World Go 'Round!

Dear Reader, Bonus points go to whoever can name what movie today's song title comes from. Comment below to submit your answers. Today I wanted to give you an update on the great " ALS Ice Bucket Challenge " that is taking the internet by storm. What started as a small campaign to raise awareness and funds for Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (Lou Gehrig's Disease) has grown and caused thousands of people to dump ice or ice water over their heads. That is how it works: one person nominates another to the challenge. That nominated person then has 24 hours to either donate $100 to the ALS foundation or have a bucket of ice dumped over their head. I would like to think most people are both accepting the ice bucket challenge and donating to charity. I won't judge, though. With all of this publicity that the ALS campaign has received, it made me think of other fads that people participated in during the 1920s and 1930s. Did you know that people regularly participated
