I got to be a musician briefly this evening. Yesterday I sat down to play the piano and had decidedly fat fingers so I’ve been on a strict regime of Hanon exercises since, to get me ready for tonight’s rehearsal with Alasdair and Amble, where we tried out some ballads with Amble turning the 1844 Broadwood piano into a sort of electronic behemoth of carefully controlled digital distortion and sub bass (and briefly turning Ali into a smurf but we probably won’t use that). It was fun.
