Last October, 2025 I started taking lessons again. Jon's NYC Piano Party was the catalyst that prompted my desire to learn new pieces and to find a qualified teacher. I found the teacher and after about 2 months of me going to his, after my knee replacement surgery, he started coming to my house for lessons. We haven't been back to his place since. I think he likes my piano.

I started out with The Valse Op 64, No 2. Then moved on to two Nocturnes, Op 9, No 2, and Op 72, No 1.

I have all three of them memorized now. I play through all three at least once daily and since the Op72 No1 is my latest, I concentrate on polishing it more. I am still working on at least 2 or more areas in each piece to attain better accuracy, dynamics, etc.

You are more than capable of learning it.

I have never played it. But, I'm pretty sure I could learn it. I have been so focused on Chopin over the past year that I feel like I should move on to a different composer.

We watched it. It was really well done.

Not for a few years now. My partner sold his house about 5 years ago and of course the observatory went with it.

I still have a very nice Astro-Physics refractor but it might be going away soon as well. Another good friend wants to buy it from me and move to Nevada. I don't use it at all as our night skies have fallen prey to sever light pollution. The new Casino that is due to open up this fall is about 1 mile from us as the crow flies. It is going to make things a lot worse. I have lost all motivation to even set it up.

Happy Anniversary!

This was wow, 5 years ago now.
