Piano Dreams

Went to an adult ed course Older people trying hard to play the piano I was told I was too advanced with my ability to play "Penny Lane" with one hand Well, I had to go home Where I could flip on a C.D. or listen to my father play fantastic Gerswhin, Debussy or Beethoven I wish the adults students success Music can grip the heart, give lovers a high and stop feeling you didn't know you had some you want, some you'd be better without Peace Namarie Shalom Bonjour Ni Hao Ma Yasu and also the other greetings I don't know

I think music and poetry are best friends. It certainly grips me - classical I might say.

You are very talented. Hey I can play peter peter pumpkin eater with just a few fingers. heeheehee. I'm so bad at piano! By the way, you actually would put snow on top ten?? I would put it on top ten annoyances in my life when I am driving. Always nice seeing you here, Matt. Luv, Andrea

It is a wonderful thing to have music around and even better to be able to play it. I play piano too and teach kids. And to me, singing is even better. I do like your hellos and peace wishes in different languages. Peace in French is "la paix". In Hindu, it is namaste I believe. In Arabic, it is Salam. Peace to you too.
