At Peace

Gone But Not Forgotten
I have a daughter that plays the piano pretty good. My wife can play some but never plays. I also have a couple of nieces that play the piano also. When they come around they usually will end up playing for about an hour or so. When they do I typically drop everything I am doing and when I say drop that means everything including all the crap and worries on my mind. I am so at Peace when that Piano is being played.
 
I took piano lessons for many years as a young child. But, I have no talent for music. I could play the notes but never could make music...

I am in awe of those that can. I know what you are describing, Murph.
 
I'm like Av8r, I'm totally unmusical but music gives me great joy and pleasure.

When I was a kid growing up in Scotland one of the things we did on week-ends was visit friends and relatives. When we visited one particular aunt and uncle and three cousins our entertainment for the evening was for the kids to play the piano. First, they would all play solos, then duets and finally, all three of them would sit there and beat the crap out of them ivories. It was an in family jam session on one piano. I was always so envious of them that they could sit there together and improvise and have a great time doing it and give pleasure to all those that were listening.

So thcri, I can still remember exactly how you feel. :clap::clap:

Steve, I know where you're coming from.
I come from a musical family and piano is soothing.
Dad played the cello well, all of us kids in the family were encouraged to be musical.
We had to go through the piano lessons when we were young.
To this day I still plink around on a piano when I am near one (and I play well.. didn't really need lessons from the cat lady :yum:)

In my first marriage we owned one of those old upright pianos that we kept tuned, and I loved playing Bach, Mozart, Joplin and sometimes random stuff in order to entertain people we had over for parties.
I taught Tyler to play, but Jeff was like me and played by ear.
I miss music nights when I'd play Mom and Dad's piano, Dad would be on cello.. my sis would be playing the flute, then the ex or my brother would be playing the guitar.
That was a good thing to enjoy during the holidays.
Our family song for music night was Come Saturday Morning-:wink:

Treasured times to be sure! always wanted to play violin-but i can't carry a note in a can with a lid on it.
 
I too am in awe of those that can play the piano. I love music, and love being around those who can play it. Enjoy Murph.

Howl at the Moon is a franchise that is normally run by piano players. Two of them will take the stage Thurs thru Sunday evening and entertain in a way that gets the whole crowd into it. Quite and experience that I would highly recommend to everyone. I've never seen another place like it. It's most fun to go with a medium to large sized group. Fun fun fun.
 
Murph i understand the piece that music being played in the home brings.

My son plays Guitar and after only 4 years he excels at it....he plays acoustic and electric but the acoustic i love....we do not have a piano but his love for music as the past few months gone further and he now also plays a keyboard,although he as passion for modern music he strives for classical as it is more demanding and he feels he will get more from that.

If he allows me i shall get some of his material that he has written himself and post up his video links.....he as even written his first lyrics that i find very impressive.....yep written for a girl:yum::yum::yum:
