Pianoma

Time for more music played wrong!  Van Halen has a few fun songs for synth/piano (Jump, Right Now, etc), but a lot of their stuff is guitar-driven power trio stuff that doesn't seem like it could be translated to solo piano.  Last night I took an hour to see if "Panama" could happen on piano.  The results are a bit better than I had guessed.  Next time I'm at a piano bar, I'll be tempted to request it.

This instead of doing dishes

Here's a cover of Wilco's kind of cryptically named "Jesus etc."  It's got one of my favorite lyrics: "Our love is all of God's money."  This video features my new G&L Legacy guitar, which is the first guitar that I've ever bought new.

Well, hello there.

Oh yeah!  I've got a music blog!

Sorry for the months of neglect.  In 2017 I managed to sell a bunch of old equipment and buy a bunch of new stuff, including a beautiful grand piano.  Here I'm playing it while singing one of my favorite Ben Folds songs after a lazy New Year's day.

Everyone have a safe, healthy, fruitful, charitable 2018.
