Steinway To Heaven

Steinway To Heaven

It suddenly occurred to me that i haven't played the piano for ages. Like a year or what maybe? I mean i still do play keyboards but the piano is a different thing all together. Well, at least to me. My mum's trusty ol' Schumann (that's my piano by the way) is an old pal. I've played it for more than 2 decades and i love it in a sentimental way. I'd love to own a grand someday though.

I'm really rusty when it comes to playing the piano now. Although i have been jamming on and off these couple of years, i have to admit that my skills have greatly deteriorated. It's funny though. I jam technical shit like Dreamtheater (for those who dunno what that is, it's a band and the closest analogy i can think of is that they're something like a rock version of erm maybe Chopin? right, maybe that's an overstatement but well you get my drift la.), but somehow i never improved technically. I'm no longer used to playing coordinated pieces now. It's pathetic.

Anyway, i've always wanted a chance to be a concert pianist and it seems that i'm getting my 'big break' finally! Dad's choir will be holding a concert at Victoria Concert Hall next year and Dad will be singing a solo piece and yours truly will be his accompanying pianist!!! At Victoria Concert Hall! How cool is that? I've been trying to practice the piece this morning but it feels really weird because i'm so out of touch. BUT nevertheless, i'm really excited about it and i hope i can pull it off somehow :) I've always been proud of my Dad's vocal prowess (although i always tell him he is adding to noise pollution) and it'll really be an honour for me to take the stage together with him - my bestest guardian angel.

Today is All Souls Day. For whoever i loved that has passed on before me, i offer my prayers to you.
