Had a good time at the piano recital last night. The kids playing looked SO young...and they were.
Oh how I wish I could play like that but little hands couldn't begin to hit some of those chords. I would have to add feet to the mix...and innumerable hours of practice.
Wanted to slap the guy who played a couple of Gershwin preludes cause he played em straight. He obviously missed the lesson about where Gershwin came from and the fact that black music had a tremendous impact on Gershwin's style.
One other guy, although fairly accomplished, was the embodiment of the word nerd. A 60s Clark Kent without the Superman backup...what a hoot.
Best part of the evening was spending time with my Molly. Thank you.
