I don’t remember a time when I DIDN’T want a piano. At 55, I FINALLY got one – in early November 2021, to be exact. A friend was getting another piano and needed to get rid of this one. Found affordable piano movers and, at long last, my dream has come true!
I’ve never had piano lessons (which is rather obvious when you listen to me). Thanks to everyone who passed on their kids’ long-abandoned how-to-play manuals. I’m posting these videos for my mother and to show you that I have been using your piano books!
Playing piano calms me. It takes my mind away from the stresses and gut punches of chronic unemployment, of gaining all the weight I lost in 2018 & 2019, and of generally feeling pretty lost these days.
I’m going to try to upload a video of my playing something on the piano each month for an entire year. I guess it doesn’t take much for me to humiliate myself on the Interwebs. Again. Seriously, I’m trying to be brave. I’m trying to show that you don’t have to do something well to enjoy it and share it.
Thank you for watching & liking each video (as in, you literally click “like” on each of them). And if you don’t, just move on – there’s zero reason to be an ass and say something sh*tty. Zero reason.
