Back in the music game....

While my girl scouts were busy planning their May 5th dance (money earning), I spent a bit of time with our music director. He's had a notice in the bulletin that he needs piano/organ players to help out. One of our main helpers is getting up there in years and I can understand the need. Anyway, I talked to him about it and we are going to work out some times to meet regularly, probably after Easter. I went home and dug out all my old copies from the Gather book and picked out a few to focus on. My favorite is "Shepherd Me O God". It's very lovely but haunting too.

I can't begin to say how neat this is to me. I've kind of put my piano on hold for a few years, kind of didn't want Jordan to feel like I was competing or that she had to be better than me, or I was better than her or any of that silly stuff that moms and daughters sometimes get into. Plus, I really had no reason of my own, no incentive, to practice. I mean why bother? Well, now I have a reason and an opportunity to take advantage of. I want to someday play "Little Fugue in G" on that organ! Woo Wee!
