Ever since I was a young lad
I wanted to play the piano
Had delusions I could be
A professional piano player.
------------------------------------------------------------------
But alas
that was not my fate
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I had four pianos in my life
Most recently bought a Rolland 88 piano
And play it almost every day.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
And now at age 70
I am finally getting fairly good
But I know that my dream
Of being a professional piano player.
Will never come true
But that is okay.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As I stumble my way through my music
Mutilating Bach, Beethoven, Blues Standards,
Mozart and so many others
In creative ways never heard before.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I think that their spirits
Will understand
And be amused
and laughing
And not be too hurt
by my piano playing.
By my attempts.
