You like Scott Joplin, too? Sweet! I have the complete works of Scott Joplin at home. I started playing at the age of 11 and took private lessons from a lady. Played in piano recitals and stuff. I learned classical, but later down the road branched out to other styles, much to my teacher’s chagrin. I still have the same little Wurlitzer spinet piano that my folks bought for me brand new in 1978. I could have upgraded to something bigger and nicer, but im too sentimental to get rid of it. Too many childhood memories.

Ah, so you play AND sing? Very nice. I think my favourite piece from Scott Joplin is “Solace (A Mexican Serenade)”. It’s a slower tempo song and has a really pretty melody.

Yes, I’m familiar with Brad Mehldau, but didn’t know he covered the Beatles. I will check this out. Thanks. This is one of the Beatle tunes I play, but doesn’t compare to this version!
To answer your question: still not working yet. The job i was supposed to go back to didn’t work out, BUT I have an interview with another company coming up quickly. More on this as it develops.
