Friday

Music is not just "notes." Music is not having a knowledge of how to voice major, minor 7s, and major 7 chords. Music is not having a knowledge of thirds. All those things are important, but they are not "music."
Music is also rhythm. And I've been missing that consistently in my piano playing. I think it'd be beneficial to continue to work on "Hark the Herald Angels Sing" until I got the rhythm (playing on time). Still, since playing on the fly from fakebooks is a goal, I can continue to do that. However, I think it'd be a good idea to always have a song that I'm working to perfect in terms of rhythm and timing. 

Not perfect timing but better than the previous recorded version:
