A mini progress report–

I used to play Beethoven’s Ode to Joy regularly on the piano when young.  It was about the only classic that my poor mother could get me to play.  She wanted me to play the classics, but I wanted to play rock n’ roll. :p  So…yeah…never practiced.

I did like “Ode to Joy” , however, and played it well.

Well…something told me to try again to play it–no music, mind you–from memory.  I didn’t think I could because I always had music in front of me to play.

But the urge was strong, so I went to the keyboard…and the music began to flow.  I still can’t believe it.  Let the tears flow…

I’m not able to do the accompaniment yet with the left hand…but I have more confidence now that it will come back.

I’m still waiting for the day that “Classical Gas”  comes back.  I’ll be bawling then.
