Tonight was the exact opposite to last night, and whaddaya know it was fun too! Kara wasn’t home so I had the house to myself. I watched some news, ate a variety of things (Froot Loops, beef jerky, and some homemade stirfry), and played the piano. I still haven’t signed up for lessons yet so I’m just learning on my own. I can play a couple of classical songs, but lately I’ve been working on the underwater theme to Super Mario Bros.
Today while I was practicing it, I hit a wrong combination of notes, HOWEVER it sounded just like Lady Madonna by the Beatles! So I hopped up and popped the CD in... It sounded fairly easy to play so I started searching for sheet music on the internet. I never found it, but I did find this site which has some Radiohead songs transcribed.
Before yesterday I wouldn’t have known one Radiohead song, but Billy has turned me on to them and now all I can think about is their music! Anyway, I downloaded the sheets for Everything in its Right Place and I’m able to play it near perfect already! (the song is pretty repetitive and pretty easy, but it still sounds SO rad when I’ve got the keyboard set to sound like an electric piano). I had a lot of fun just chillin’ and experimenting on the piano tonight. Here’s to more low-key weeknights!
its amazing how much fun we can have when the women are away for an evening! You smell it?... it is called freedom! hahaha Just kidding... (in case Kara or my wife ever read this!)
So after I posted this, I went upstairs and played the piano for another hour! Meesa tired this morning!
jake, go to sheetmusicarchive.net it has a bunch of classical composers and sheet music in pdf format, you can only d/l'd two a day, but it really is rad, I've gotten a few chopin and mozart pieces that I really wanted, so I didn't have to buy...check it :) I have a feeling you're going to show me up at the piano this weekend :( I haven't put in the time to play the chime.
Except you play guitar well, Micah, so you can't really complain if Jake *beats* you at piano since that's all he can do.
The real question is, "Can Jake play piano and xyz...?"
And video games don't count.
Ok, you got me there. But don't forget our fine friend freely flailes on the flute as well as the keys..so he's got that going for him.
Flute? That's gold!
Radiohead rocks. You should be listening to our music share for whatever you don't already have, because we have all of it.
Yeah, that's how I've been listening to it!!
