Still alive and well
The last few days have been much of the same sort of practicing as I described in my last post. I've been playing a few different pieces to work on the two-handed stuff. I think one of the issues is that I just have not been doing it. For that jazz piece, I've switched the melody part back to playing it straight instead of swing. This has allowed me to count the whole thing and do a better job with the tempo.
One question I have is, why am I self-conscious about practicing when Lori is home? That's pretty stupid. She has heard me play.
I've talked to a couple of people about gigs. One forwarded me info for a "soul" band that's looking for a keyboard player. I will need to see what they want and the level of commitment they are looking for. And, of course, whether they'd be interested in me. 😊
