Your brick story

I've always wanted to play the piano and I was fortunate that RM taught me a little while back. I know how to play mostly Christmas songs, but can play a few others. I used to be able to read sheet music, but cannot any longer.

I remember sitting with RM at her piano, her teaching me how to play another song and I'd start (all of a sudden) playing "Heart and Soul" and she'd jump in with the other part of it. We'd sit there playing over and over until our fingers got tired. We didn't talk, just played. That was a happy memory. And once Rae got home from school, if I was home early, we would both jump on the piano and play the same together. We played "Lean on Me" as well ... such good times.

Last year just before Christmas, we got a miniature piano in at work. One of my younger employees and I would sit at it and play after the shift was over. (Joe)

I told a new employee of that and he said he couldn't wait until we got a piano in so that we could play together. We got one in last night and today during his break, we played. He is much more advanced than I am, but we played well together, it was fun.

He showed me the beginning of "Journey" (clip of the song here ... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aix1BpDCCHI

And then we played Heart and Soul, it was a lot of fun ... and here is the clip of that song as well ... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FnU-GMlqpyg
