Christmas evenings are to be filled with warm light, a soft glow from the fireplace, twinkling Christmas trees and lovely carols and music. No snow here, just ice and very very low temperatures.There's an ancient piano standing in the parlor. It's been there for ages and have seen many little children hit their first notes on its keys. I opened it and tinkered a little. I'm so bad at sightreading that I dumped the sonatas of Schmann, Schubert and Mozart to play children pieces. I absolutely cannot do classical pieces. Not to mention that the nails are really too long to be effective in running the notes.
I've got zero talent for the piano. Obviously, I don't even know how to play Christmas carols on the piano. I'd have to improvise and figure out the notes. Not very fun at all. I no like. After a while, I abandoned the kiddy sounds *shudder* for contemporary pieces. Think Beverly Craven's Promise Me. I really like the music, not so much of its lyrics. I feel so much more for contemporary pieces. To me, those are so much easier to play, even with 5 flats or 5 sharps. Not Christmassy at all, but still very nice!
The man has his little travel guitar of course! With mini speakers and an amp, he could play anything but ummm....Christmas carols. Heh. Not very helpful there.
No, we cannot do a strange duet of mixed instruments. I cannot count or listen to his strange beats and rhthym. HEEEEEE.

I can't wait for Kelly to arrive at that level where she can play during Christmas dinners. I wish to live this dream of mine, through her. And thank God she loves playing the piano too.
