1st anniversary of playing piano at M Central

On Friday, 2024.06.28, at 11:13:07 I first played piano at the M Central. It was BB who introduced me to a world of music, The 1st song played was his favourite. It has been exactly one year. Many things have unfolded here. As I genuinely seeking for music therapy, I have also shared that to many. On my 2nd and subsequent visits in August last year. I have arrived in the morning very early, I managed recording most of the played pieces, While the Centre was empty and quiet. However the recording ceased since early April. Due to the noises from several constructions. My proudest moments were when The listeners approached me And said the word "Thank you". Some did it with sincerely gestures, Saluted me in military styles, Or put their hand on their heart. Some bowed with their hands In front of their chest and Mouthed the word "Thank you". Seriously, since August last year Not a single day I did not come, Except on the weekend when I travelled "The moon represents my heart" Was the first song played for BB. "Brahm's Lullaby" was 2nd's as suggested by JC. Three versions of the lyrics and played the music, Yet made no attempt to sing as requested. Then, "The God Father" for an Uraquay man, "Pachelbel Cannon D" by the Maltese. The most recent one was last Saturday The popular song "Yesterday" requested by C-J. As it has started couple of months ago, It was obvious there was this particular shop, Has intentionally protested my playing, Like three days ago, the sound from the floor forklift, Running loudly towards that shop, The contruction of renovation in another direction. These noises surrounded the piano. Yet, it seemed all that was not noisy enough, This particular shop still turned on the sound very loud, As soon as I sat at the piano, And stopped soon after I walked away from it. I planned to play all the songs, That I have been playing here. For one hour, I managed to play half, In the exact order of what has happened. Coincidently, as I left the piano, I walked pass a group of tradesmen, One of them said to me "That was beautiful music". I then realised they had been working on the renovation, Now the work is done and the shop Oporto's opened. I then asked this new shop attendant To convey a message to the shop owner "Congratulation. Today, it is the shop opening It is also my 1st anniversary playing the piano here" Thank you BB, for bring out the best in me For creating so many sweet memories including The time in playing the piano.
