Thomas "Fats" Waller

• Rode exercise bike for an hour; burned 724 calories; burned 116 carbohydrates; may have went 22.5 miles. 
• Continue to work on perfecting MISTY.
Tough line for me to draw with regards to knowing when a song is learned good enough to move on to another. There's a tension there - gear gets involved with learning something new and that fear of failure may lead to delay; on the other hand, it's good to perfect a song.
• Reading a really good biography of Fats Waller. What a time to be learning the piano as when Mr. Waller did!  Seems like there's so many excuses to be lazy these days with all of our toys. Inspiring to read about Mr. Waller. I'm really a fan of stride piano as well as ballad piano.
