Guest guest Posted August 8, 2001 Report Share Posted August 8, 2001 I have a few music stories, not too surprisingly, in my career was as a musician and record producer, but as I'm telling two fairly long stories elsewhere on the site today, I'll only tell this short one. When I was five I would go to sleep listening to my father playing the piano. It was one of my favorite times. One day, a 16 year old neighbor, was over at our house for some reason or another and my father asked him to play as he was reputed to be very good. I crawled under the piano and sat there utterly transfigured by some "Sturm und Drang" piece that he was thundering out above my head. It felt like the piano was cracking and exploding like thunder during a summer storm. I couldn't think at all and was utterly outside myself. It was the most thrilling experience of my then young life and it utterly changed me. I was taking piano lessons within the week, and was consumed for the rest of my childhood and teen years with listening to and playing music. My life turned inside out that afternoon, and I was put on a track that my family came to utterly regret. But that's another story. yours in the bonds, eric Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
