Back from vacation. Missed my piano but was surprised to find a Kawai digital in one of the three vacation houses we were sharing with our friends. I couldn't play it much and certainly didn't practice so put me on the excused list from Sunday 7/7 to 7/14. Back to normal tonight 
- Debussy - Le Petit Nègre, L. 114
- Haydn - Sonata in Gm, Hob. XVI/44

I like it too. I don't remember who started it the first year (way before my time here, though I did read about it)...but it was , and is, a great idea!

W/e up at Whistler for the open air concert with Vancouver Symphony playing Mozart,
Mendellson and Dvorak. Full moon rising over the Rockies - couldn't be more romantic.
Had no idea where we were going. To airport, OK, to Vancouver,OK, from domestic through Int'l to coach stop - was is Victoria Ferry or Whistler? Got closer and ended up at the Fairmont where picnic was waiting in time for start . This guy has been hanging around for 40 yrs and still can surprise me! Guess he's a keeper!
By the way, I wish I had recorded my playing before we left . Hope I play as well when we get back.. Still have to make my Ecco fatto debutt!!

Congratulations! Happy Anniversary!

I'm back from vacation (and just stayed 45 solid minutes at the piano).
I've been far from a keyboard from July 12th till yesterday, July 22nd. I had fun, but during rainy days - we had a couple of them- I missed my piano so much!

back home. it feels like they are all new pieces! I recorded myself just to hear what it sounded like. Mr Square inspired me to try just using my ipad. What a revelation. I've a lot of work to do. i am so heavy on the keys. But now I hear it I can change it. an hour a day is not enough but I don't know how consistent I can be. Why does life get in the way!

Please put me on the naughty list for 24 and 25 July. I just came home from 4 days at the hospital. Played early in the morning on Tuesday. Will play again tonight.
Plodding through piano music at a frustratingly slow pace since 9/2012.
Standard disclaimer: I teach many things. Piano is not one of them.

It's not the naughty list my dear, it is the excused list - and you can certainly go there.
I hope you are feeling ok now.

Please may I be excused from 7/20-28, since we spent a week in France. I did have an opportunity where I could have played a piano but alas, I have zero items memorized. Without sheet music I revert to being a non-player. I really want to fix that, sigh...
On the bright side, on arrival home, I found that a book (free via Paperbackswap.com) had arrived.
"Easy Billy Joel Songs" so I'll have some for items for my collection of "Music I hope to play one day."

Cas, please mark me out for August 4-8. I was at a conference in Austin, Texas (good), and got to visit with my daughter while I was there (even better). But I missed my husband so much (even more than my piano ). I am very happy to be home.
