im at a living gallery and there is this man playing a portable Yamaha piano and everyone is being loud in the room so i can barely hear him. i move over to the piano and he is playing Chopin’s nocturne with almost perfect technique. As i listen more he plays Rachmaninoff’s Bell’s of Moscow and is just amazing.
Of course i talk to him. He had been playing for 13 years and was trying to make it to the professional level, but didn’t have the opportunities to be able to. Now he just plays the piano for the this small ranch running a living gallery every year. Such skill on such a cheap piano i have never seen before. It was probably the best performance I’ve seen besides going to see the Chicago symphony play.
I Play a little Piano but what I am proud of is Hand drums. I personally own a Djembe But I also like the Cajon, My dream is to get a space drum… but those are a little more then expensive…
Yeah, I like to sing and play guitar and ukulele. I have a couple videos here https://m.youtube.com/user/JopidiaOfficial?
But you got me thinking… I’m going to create a looping yoyo that makes music when you throw it… somehow…
Back in 1992 to 1994 I was in Rosie O Gradies in Orlando Florida. I haven’t been in a band since. I’ve been looking for a band but I honestly don’t know how id have the time to be in one with my current life workload, so I continue to keep playing for myself.
I made friends with someone in a band, he shoved a practice changed in my face and I learned a tune in about 20 minutes. He said I was a natural. If anyone is interested in learning, it’s easier to find teachers than you think!
