I feel inclined to apologize. It's been 10 days since my last post, I know. It's only that for the past 10 days I just haven't been feelin' the blog-writing vibe that's essential to public gut-spilling. For that, I might be a little rusty, but I'll do my best to disclose even the queerest details of my life in a semi-interesting fashion:
 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 
Do you remember how I said I wouldn't dare touch the keys of a piano?
 
Since then something has changed.
To put it pleasantly, I grew some balls.
 
And that man that I've been blessed with?
 
What do you know? He sat me down on the bench(which doubles as an amplifier), and taught me my first song: Ode to Joy.
 
                                                           It
                                                         was
                                                  AWESOME!
 
Granted, it might be a little lame to go nuts over this, especially considering the version I learned is incredibly simplified. But hell, it's the first time I've played something using both hands. It took a lot of squealing and excessive apologizing for me to finally shut the fuck up and just try to play the damn thing.
 
So I owe him the biggest thank you I can muster. BJ? Nah, let's keep it casual.
 
And then I have another friend, Jason, who has two awesome keyboards that I can play to my heart's content on. And he's giving me lessons that are actually productive. And you'll never guess what I'm learning now.

                                                         for your own good.
 
Annnnnnnnnnnnnywayyyyy
I'm far too tired to continue writing.
Wish me good luck with this thing.

    just to be able to let your fingers caress ivory and ebony, and feel the keys respond, is an awesome feeling.
    yes!! ... :-)
    ode to joy is one of my favorites.
    jason is teaching you an eagles song?

  • LiveInPeace said on Apr 14, 2009....
    Yes!! He is!! I'm ridiculously slow right now but hell, give it time. Take it to the Limit is one of my all-time favorite songs; it gets me every time.
  • moonriver said on Apr 14, 2009....
    this might be a worn-out cliche, but still true: practice makes perfect.
    take it to the limit is one great eagles song, and of course there's hotel california which everyone loves, but my own personal favorite is tequila sunrise.

    psst. a little secret... i know a bit of eagles piano myself, but not good enough yet to be able to play the piece perfectly like this piano man does...



    but then again: practice makes perfect, right?
    give it time, but take it to the limit, that's what i say.
    and i'm not just talking about learning the piano... :-)

    You are fantastic. No lie. And I've actually already seen this video XD

    Tequila Sunrise...I'm not sure why but it's not one of my favorites, but next time I hear it I'm gonna find some things to appreciate about it, I might see if differently.
