This has little to do with your above comments...hi. This has little to do with your above comments specifically, but I wanted to tell you: A couple of days ago, I heard a long conversation with Bobby McFerrin. He said he was employed as a rehearsal accompanist at a university in Utah and one day decided he was actually supposed to be a singer. So he went to a hotel bar and asked if he could have a job playing there. He said he only knew about 6 songs, though. So he did a few of them and they said he could start in a month. So... he undertook the task of learning one song every day for a month so he would have an act for the piano bar. Of course, I thought of you. He had a much more definite impetus and deadline to do it, but the principle is exactly the same.Gavinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03984765241224391425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8926021594201545446.post-2322654137081618782010-04-10T14:17:36.442-07:002010-04-10T14:17:36.442-07:00I just realized, reading this post over, that I co...I just realized, reading this post over, that I contradicted myself in the second paragraph - my therapeutic reasons for learning the singles from Funhouse were mostly lyrically-motivated, but there is a lot in the music as well. More on this another time.pianokatsmeowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04168788497311510949noreply@blogger.com
