Gosh, I can't even remember when was the last time I played the piano.  It feels like forever in a day.  I missed it -- I really did.  Now, don't ask me why, but I watched A Walk To Remember.  I know, I know, it's a total chick flix, but as it turns out it has a really great song called, "Only Hope."  The scene where Jamie sings this song is quite touchy, specially when the mellow low notes in the piano battle with reverberance her smooth high notes.  The music is fantastic.  You would have to watch the movie to undrestand why it is so good.  So, anyway, I did a quick online search and found the sheet music.  So I went to the basement to unpack and hook up my PSR-2000, and I played.  I finally played the piano, and it felt great!

And so it has come to pass that I've been down in the basement for a couple of hours trying to learn how to play this song.  It's challenging, but everytime I learn a small piece, I can hear Mandy Moore singing along.  I can see the movie in my head, rolling at the pace of my fingers as they hit the keys.  This, exactly this feeling, is precisely what I missed the most about playing the keyboard.  It feels great to play again.
