It’s been a busy week, damn. Wednesday I went to three back-to-back appointments, Thursday - PT, Friday - Sis’ office party, Saturday - church concert and Sunday - Rogue One. I also spent all weekend waiting for news about test results and boy, doctors need to work on their bedside manners - more on that at a later date ( Read more... )

Your description of the Christmas concert was wonderful. They must have spent a LOT of time rehearsing. I hope this won't be the last year.

TBH, they can't spend too much time rehearsing since a third of their group are away at college until a week before Christmas. But you would never know to hear them!

I didn't know you played the piano.

I took lessons for about a year and half when I was seven and then another two years when I was 13. So I'm not great, and sometimes I have to amend the chords to fit my tiny arthritic fingers, but I have a keyboard on our sun porch and I have books aimed at kids who have been playing for about two years with lots of Disney and Broadway musical pieces (Beauty and The Beast song is one of my favs to play). So, yeah, I'm not pulling of any Beethoven, but I can read music enough to do some simplified fun stuff!

I can play the harmonica too, took lessons in that for about a year. I can no longer get both hands up to my mouth (the right shoulder is locked up too tight) so I sadly can't play anymore, but over Christmas The Canadian Nephew got a harmonica from my mom and I taught him how to read the music and hold his hands, so I'm passing along my knowledge.

Do you play any instruments?

Yes, piano, organ, violin, classical guitar, recorder and flute. I would love to play the harp, banjo and electric guitar, but I'll have to save those for my next life. :-)
