2. i'm trying to learn piano.

i started voice lessons at 65. i’ve been on break for a while, as i’ve been sick. but it’s been great. i love my coach and our 1 hr of ft a week was therapy for both of us. i also traced my family tree and fell down the irish music rabbit hole. learned about 100 songs.

i’ve allegedly been trying to learn piano. mostly i’m avoiding it. it requires me to grapple w my ignorance on the subject, which, at my age, i dont have to do often. it peeves me.
i’ve been actually trying lately. this bouys my resolve. i put a deposit on a narrow key elec piano that will be delivered this summer. that will help.
i also bought a crazy antique piano that i cant find a mechanic for. i absolutely have to get at least conversant b4 that gets done and delivered. (it’s still at the antique store. a good friend who enjoys having it shining in her store, but…)

i knew a lot of this stuff, but it’s still fun to hear ppl talk about it. of course, lots of stuff i didnt know.
