Piano World Home Page Forums Our Most Popular Forums Adult Beginners Forum Rostoskys serious thread. (by request)

Greetings everyone! I'm just stopping by briefly to say hello. I'm getting used to some new Sunday activities like helping with installing a new washer and dryer. Not fun

Piano practice is starting to get back on track. My teacher noticed some good improvements when I had my lesson last week! I am really getting some results with the additional time I've added to my piano studies.

I guess I won't be posting much for a while as far as music goes. However, I'm looking forward to listening to all of the contributions on the thread this week. I might start tonight with listening to some of the drinking songs have been posted. I'll probably tilt a few beers after the frustrating time we're having with installing our laundry equipment.

Thanks everyone for all of the postings. Also thanks to everyone for your kind support and understanding of the changes I've needed to make I knew folks here would understand. As Aimee said, "piano comes first."

Well I must be off. Enjoy the rest of your day!

Griffin, glad to hear you’re making good improvements on the piano. We miss your postings.

Richard, impressive performance in your last ABF recital! Clearly your technique deserved a better piano than your old Yamaha. I loved that richness of details that your playing brings out from this nocturne. Congrats!

Well thanks, I spend most of my time over in ABF but check out other threads too.

I have been in the sky for seven minutes and twenty six seconds.

.............. where was you the missing second Recaredo?

Lol Wayne! Good question.

I expect it took a second to reach the sky, Wayne.

Thank you for your kindness, Recaredo, and thank you for the Tatyana Ryzhkova clip. She really looks like she's enjoying playing that!

Here's some Annie & Dave,

Frank Zappa's artwork was on History's Mysteries last night and it reminded me of how awesome he was.

Late evening folks

I wouldn't know where to begin. what's been going off in my world over the last 48hrs, so I won't, but it has lead me to this song (I love Bjork )

I remember seeing this on TOTP, the only heavy metal(ish) song I ever liked



Totally unrelated............

A quick survey, response appreciated

wayne pmsl. why oh why oh why, i sometimes ask myself.
sometimes, just when I am asking myself that, something else totally unexpected and stupid happens.

I'm so stupid I just realized that Recaredo was talking about the length of the video and not in a plane. She is way too talented and needs to give up her piano to one of us since she is perfectly capable on guitar.

Bjork is so cute. I will have to find you some more songs that are similar to increase your metal-ness. It's always a nice quality to have.

I think that if Beethoven was alive today, he'd be pretty metal.

I am tired of no one posting 'cuz they're working on Mendelssohn (says the girl who is mostly likely to crash and burn and is terrified of the red dot).

I love this song. Especially the line "I'm open to falling from grace" hehehe it's so much more fun that way! I'll have to show Billy O a picture of the lead singer.. he'll probably like her too.

More 90's fun.

Now I will go and finish cleaning up the mess I made after a failed kitchen attempt. Fun fact: When you add sugar too quickly while beating meringue it gets liquidy and splatters everywhere when you try to continue beating while reaching across the kitchen. Fun Fact Number 2: It dries to the consistency of rubber cement.

Don't blame Mendelssohn, Blame Richard! I now blame Richard for everything, Lol, he could be our new RST scape-goat, if anything goes wrong, it's Richard's fault, if you make a mistake in piano practice, have a bad time in life, it's Richards fault!

Mea culpa!

You knew I'd have to google Mea culpa!

Me and the other half just had a take-away pizza, just avin' a few cans and listening to some crazy records he found in a skip, they're mad, about Sheffield, I will get around to sharing these at some point, but as they're on vynle, will 'av to be when I've got a bit of free time

One of these songs lol "penny in his pocket la de da," I can't find any reference to this online, can't wait to share Bk laters folks

Evening!

Here’s a beautiful song by Gloria Estefan called “Mi tierra” (My land). I remember when my wife and I were dating, we lived in different places. I travelled every weekend to visit her, and this music sounded in my car often.

I can't blame Mendelssohn or Richard for me not posting anything lately. It has more to do with Debussy, Chopin, retirement preparations, and too many other things that would bore you to tears! I hope everyone is doing well. Aimee, thanks for the kitchen tip. I hope the cleanup wasn't too bad!

I got an unexpected break today. A snow storm has forced my piano teacher to cancel my lesson today. I'm not necessarily happy about that. However, I can now post this piece by Tracy Chapman. Somehow it was just what I needed today. Hope you enjoy it.

Richard, you are now a verb! We still love you, even though I am jealous of your piano-playing abilities... hehehehe

Griffin, you have an excuse until retirement, plus two months after retirement. Although if you are incorrect and Richard is actually causing your retirement, then I will revisit the meaning of the verb Richard, and will begin to wish to be Richarded daily, until I too am retired. Lovely Tracy Chapman, by the way!

Recaredo, isn't it funny how we associate certain songs with being in cars on the way to see certain people? Here's one I used to hear while driving to see a guy I was seeing in the 90's... oh young crushes! I still get a giddy rush when hearing it.
