A time for everything.....

it came to me all at once. the urge, desire and discipline to finally learn the piano. i just went with it. it was now or never. i had always wanted to play, but it was just one of those things. the point is, when you really want to do something, you do it! so i guess i had always wanted to, but not REALLY wanted to, you know what I mean? playing the piano was a burning ember that simply needed to be fanned. i am now ablaze with poetry and sound! now, i have an accompaniment to my voice and a way to arrange the many songs i have written. i so enjoy it. my music teacher is a saint. i warned him on day one that i would be difficult to teach and that i didn't want to start from the beginning. i wanted to learn a song that day!!! and you know what? i walked out of that lesson able to play a song. its only been about 3 months but, i can play about a dozen songs. for a student that listens so little and talk so much, learns backwards and upside down well... that's pretty neat! i knew all along me and the piano would be friends. everyone needs an instrument. everyone should learn to play one.(the tambourine counts) it is a relationship that just keeps on giving!
