Day 278

An interesting piano day....

Usually I just got the urge to switch piano methods.....but this was more serious!

For the first time in a very long time, I just didn't feel like continuing with the piano.....
Just didn't feel like playing piano anymore.... Felt zapped of enthusiasm....
Felt tempted to just play guitar....

But then I sat at the piano and began playing the Beatles' "Blackbird" using a mixture of the Sudnow Method and my own adaptation of the Method.

And it was enjoyable.

So I guess I'll stick around for awhile.
