Battle of the Muses

Paula, your fine comment is much appreciated and encouraging. You have a terrific weekend, too.

Thanks, Beata, I suppose I am so blessed, indeed.

Thanks so much, Alex. I appreciated your visit.

One of my shortest works, Andrea. Thanks so much. Got your Soup Mail and responded.

Thanks, Unseeking Seeker. I'm glad you enjoyed my little verse on muses.

Thanks so much, Janice.

Absolutely. Otherwise, I can't explain it. I played my first tune on the old piano in my grandma's parlor when I was about three years old...to the astonishment of family who realized I was playing "Bell Bottom Trousers, coat of Navy blue..." I was a World War II child. Play pop, classical, hymns, jazz, etc., by note and by ear with almost no formal training. I guess I'm blessed! Incidentally, no other family members played the piano!!!!

Thanks, Michelle. It just came at a very early age, played all my life, wrote all my life. The two seem to go hand in hand with me. I think, though, that playing is more relaxing.

Thanks, Maurice. Started playing when I was about four years old. Some folks say when I play "by ear" it sounds like Mozart. Maybe I studied under him in a previous life, eh? lol

Thanks, Judy.

Hopefully, Robert. Thanks for your visit.
