I've been doing it on and off for about 5 years.  Only had a teacher for first few months so I was not very consistent in my approach.  Teacher said I just was not serious enough and she was totally correct dancingdancingdancingdancingdancing

Everyone plays for their own reasons. Some want to be Pro's, others just for the enjoyment or somewhere in between. Myself, I just like the dang thing…maybe a little obsessed  dunno

You sound great. The kids were dancing around when I played it. Lukas thought his comment above was hilarious. And you are indeed much better than this his sister.

This music is a miracle … ( not the music ) …… I figured out why QuickTime would not respond to AUTO PLAY settings and I am willing to make this information available to the PH foundation for a very reasonable fee.

Meanwhile, the attached music is only some racket caused by my out of control neighbors.

This is my other piece but is approved by Lukas !

The moral of the story is, fly now pay later.  There really are no short cuts.

Hi, Oliver, I strongly agree with you, I'm practcing the basic now, but I can't give up playing songs because that's what keeps me motivated.

BTW, i can't access the piece Lukas approved:(

I like both of them, when I was a little boy, I used to make my dad laugh by singing "Hello,Dolly" Satchmo (Louie Armstrong) style. In later years I learned to do Carol Channing's version as well, but I don't want to talk about it…lol  rofl

Wow!  Carol Channing!  I Google-see  she is alive at 90 years old.
A rare shooting star in American entertainment.
