my final statement...
on: May 20, 2013, 06:50:29 AM
I am worried about the struggles of life affecting my total time left on this planet, eventually...20 years? 10...?

I am going to stop pushing so hard, but when I can, I will push as far as I can.

Instead if pushing, I would rather sit and wonder....can you tune a piano by ear? I'd like to. >:)


Or maybe its just the Ballade no 4 trip talk.... :'(

It sounds like from stress your mind is looking for a reboot. We tend to do that ya know ?

Depressing the pedal on an out of tune acoustic piano and playing does not result in tonal color control or add interest, it's called obnoxious.

I watched this video about why the economy is going to crash and I was like...hey! I don't NEED your economy! The only thing I need right now is my piano tuned without using any technology or blackberry magic...and world peace.

So yeah. I really hope it can be done... :)
