I realized recently how much I like the sound the piano makes. it's relaxing and soothing. It calms me. That got me thinking about something I had wanted to do a long time ago and that was to learn how to play piano. Do any of you have piano experience?

Kevin,

You drug me back with this post. The last few days have really being difficult ones. While I don't play I love to listen to my wife play. It's especially wonderful when I come home after a hard day and hear her at the piano as I am walking into the house. I think my favorite is "Für Elise" because that's the name of one of our nieces.

One of my spare bedrooms is the computer room now.

As you all know, I LOVE to sing! But I never could learn to play a musical instrument. Other then a harmonica.
My brother was self taught on the guitar, and played a 12 string beautifully. He had 2 bands in his teens.
It always amazed me how a person can play an instrument, and be able to sing at the same time.
If you have the patience to learn to play the piano, go for it!
😁
