Not sure what possessed me to set up the Yamaha but it's all ready to go. I tested it and no glitches can be found because of the 1500 mile trip from Connecticut. Now I've got to get myself back to playing. That'll be another story I suppose. I wish I played easily but I don't and so I'll have to struggle but I still like piano and I have all sorts of beginner books as I never got past third grade books! I think the singing of Panis Angelicus before Mass this morning made me miss the music I grew up with. One of the music teachers at Killingly High made a tape of Panis Angelicus for our son when he was in high school so he could practice it and compete for a spot in The All State Choir. I've always loved that piece and he did get a spot! I believe that somewhere I have the tapes from at least a couple of the all state performances in Storrs.
We had an excellent afternoon yesterday with our son and his wife. The smoked brisket and pork butt were fantastic and we brought some home so there'll be a great supper tonight. The bread, cake and coleslaw I made were certainly adequate so we had an excellent lunch. The time just flew by. It was nice sitting on their porch swing, chatting quietly together as the world turned. Life can be soothing when we allow it to happen.
Think I'll see if I can play a little piano. I will start with some really easy stuff.
