Who's reading jazzpianist (1):
Well, here's my first post on this (new to me) site.  I'm lonely, sad, and not particularly inspired.  As a working jazz pianist, it can be hard to play well under the burden of this much stifling loneliness.  Sometimes it can be fuel for the playing to be transcendent, but more often it's just hard to see the keyboard as an old friend.

Wish there was someone to share this life with.  I wish so many things.  I once enjoyed a warm family, busy life, incredible success in so many ventures.  It's a lot different now.

Quiet, isolated, empty nester, lonely.  I just wonder if there's anyone out there who will actually read this.

    hi.
    i just commented on your nora jones post.
    welcome here mr jazzpianist.
     
    there are many who will read what you write....
     
    i just sent my oldest daughter to college so i'm having some pangs of lonliness myself-  and visions of empty nests in my not-so-far-off future.
     
    let's re-invent ourselves somehow?  just figure a way to find the strength to do that.  in the meantime, remember you aren't really alone.

I'm thankful for all my SC friends. :-) So to pay tribute I will make the turkery, stuffing, mashed potatoes and gravy. You can bring a side dish or dessert.

All are welcome.

What will you bring?

It really genuinely scared me, made my heart jump a bit!...
