Wow, that is expensive.

I love playing grand pianos. Many times I would play in the practice rooms that have the little glass window in the door and I would see people standing there listening to me. That makes me more nervous though.I was wondering if they liked it or thought it was strange funky music I was writing! lol

 I have been composing music for 20 years of the 26 years Iv been alive and I still feel self-concscience about my compositions. I always feel like I can be doing better, maybe that is what keeps me playing every day. I cant go a day without writing something new and then practicing more later in the day. I have to play every day. If I dont, I feel like I have forgotten something very important and it will bother me until I do. I feel that composing music and programming synthesizers and playing the cello have really helped me with some of the issues I have with my blindness, epilepsy and deafness. Its my therapy! lol Music really does something to you. I had my first CD published when I was in middle school because my mother was told that I do not have much time left before I lose all of my hearing. Sometimes my heart aches for the hearing I used to have. I lost more of it slowly over time and I remember one day in college, I went to go and play the grand piano and it sounded so soft and far away and without the shimmer to its sound.  I was so sad at that moment when I reliezed that my hearing really is going to get worse.  I have spent lots of time crying in my studio in front of all my synthesizers and my piano just thinking and relizing that there is nothing I can do about it. I live for music and composing and will never give it up no matter what happens. I just take it one day at a time and adjust to things like I have always had to do. Maybe god has a plan for me in this life. :)

On a more positive note, lol, my synthesizers keep me happy and my favorate thing in the world is to give a concert and the audience enjoying my music and everyone is happy and enjoying themselves.

Sorry for the long post! lol

Take care everyone. Keep playin the music proud and loud! :)
