Me, I wanted to play like the Wilson sisters of Heart or Juice Newton. I made it to Dueling Bangos and some of Glen Campbell (obviously my teacher and I didn't have the same taste). Later I taught myself to play the psalter.

I was a teen when folk music was hot and I loved it because it has what so appeals to us about Showtunes - lyrics to remember! Peter, Paul, and Mary will live in my head forever, and absolutely every moment in every song in Les Miserables is unforgettable - On My Own, I Dreamed a Dream, Bring him Home.

He can sign pitch perfect almost any song a cappella. He remembers the words and the music! It never ceases to amaze me. I admire people who are musically inclined, you and my husband included.

My kids all took piano growing up (we still have one that they play on), but my middle son switched to french horn during middle school and, though no longer playing it, is now involved in drama musical productions.

When I lived in Texas my next door neighbor in our community of town homes, played piano. She practiced daily and I tried to be out working in my yard just to hear her play. It's lovely you are so talented to play piano and write. I hope you write that book about the pianist and Mr. Right.rozdennyfoxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06506701706951201107noreply@blogger.com
