CRS.......

Man, I hate this getting old stuff. Whoever coined the phrase "You can't teach an old dog new tricks" really knew what they were talking about.

I set up one of the rooms in the old snake building for my keyboards as I like to plink away on them every now and again. Used to play in a band as a keyboardist in my younger days, even though I was never really any good, and haven't gotten any better with age. But it was fun, and I constantly kid myself that with practice I will eventually get better at it. So anyway I was poking around on YouTube and stumbled on a video showing the piano intro to "Don't Stop Believing" by Journey and I decided to plink around with that.



There are several tutorials online, so that makes it easy on the "figuring" part.

So anyway I got my two hands to play together nicely and had this down pat and was pleased with the sound. So I shut the keyboard down and walked outside to do a few errands before going over to the house. So I started thinking about that song, and darn if I couldn't remember what it even sounded like in that short span of time. Sheesh.... Hopefully it will come back to me next time I sit at the keyboard.

From One Rich To Another,


I Feel your Pain! In my teenage years I played bass Guitar for a rock group. Now Days, I can't remember what i did the day before...and really don't much look forward to doing what i need to do tomorrow, simply because the day after tomorrow...i won't remember what i did. heres to being "Older"....Not OLD...Just "Older".

This post actually reminded me that at one point in my life I knew the piano intro! Totally forgot it at this point, (and until now forgot I had even known it at one point).

Do you know the old saying "He has forgotten more than most people know"? Well, I used to think that was a compliment.......

Actually, I've pretty much got it down pat. But it sure does point out to me that the muscles in my right hand don't have the stamina they used to...
