Bravo!

Absolutely fantastico !!! Does he play professionally? When did he start? Was it his dream or someone else's? Was he moved into classical or is that where he started? These are the things that come to mind for me when I hear someone as talented as your son, and I always want to know more.

My reason; as I was reaching age 70 I got a hunger to play the piano. My wife went to the east coast to visit her sister a few years ago. While she was gone I got a little bored and one day went out and bought a new petite baby grand piano, delivered the very next day. When she got home two weeks later there it was sitting a corner of our living room. I worked so hard learning to play something before she returned home. I managed to learn to play, in my own rhythm and beat, “Fur Elise”. I was so proud of myself, but I only got a, “That’s nice, honey” from her when I got home, I was so disappointed. Now she usually goes to the bedroom and closes the door when I play, even though I know I’ve come a long way and can play by memory at least a dozen classicals and a few others. I practice every day, well almost, and sometimes even twice a day, usually when something rings a bell in my head. I know most of the scales and still hate practicing them. It’s a struggle sometimes but it’s still a passion I just can’t let go of.

I started to teach myself, then even hired a teacher that came once a week for about two months. He was good but insisted I count out loud which I profusely refused to do. I told him I can count to myself. Since we argued so much just about counting I finally just fired him. We were both hung up on our methods. Since then I've been self-taught and I learn and play what I want, mostly classical. I'll never be as good as your son, I have no natural talent for it. I'll only be as good as I need to be for my personal enjoyment. It takes a commitment to play like your son and music can be such a joy and even a companion throughout your life. Don’t ever let him give it up, and if he ever tries to, have him give me a call first.

Wonderful tone! You can tell when a musician connects with his music, there is a sincerity to the presentation. You have to be very proud of him.

Quite nice. I could not tell it was not a pro. (I am not a musician nor a guitarist, but I listen to classical music all the time.)

Please pass regards and congrads on to Joshua.
