ok.  this has really nothing to do with thal.  i just decided this morning that i'm going to practice more and talk less.  i mean, i do spend a lot of time on this forum.  it is not wasted time - per se - but, perhaps...just perhaps - i am completely talked out.  i have nothing further to say. not even about mt blanc or why jenny can't play the piano.  i was tempted to respond - but then i thought 'i don't even know jenny.'  how should i know why she can't play the piano.  you see - i do have restraint!

this is soley a choice to get my brain rewired toward practicing the piano in 2007.  and, thal has mt. climbing training to focus on.  he cannot get distracted by titanium oxygen tanks - although in his delirium i can assure you - he will be begging me to bring him one as he sucks the last bits of air out of his inflatable snowshoes. 

peace, joy and love in 2007. 

ps i might attempt to post something or other in the piano competition thread that iumonito has posted at the end of january.  but, that all depends if i get back to form or not on piano.  i mean, i'm not going to post trash if i can help it.  the i-pod recording made me so depressed.  must return to form.

Stop back in sometime pianistimo.

(wheels spinning in back of mind.... pianistimisso is leaving.... thal is leaving... pianistimo is leaving.... thal is leaving.....  oh, look!  popcorn!)

Pianistimo I think you meant "au revoir", didn't you? Ok i don't say au revoir because you anyway will come back.

got a feeling that this would be the shortest break susan is going to take.

we love you dearly Susan.

even though im not here so often,

but your intentions are respected by me.

Have a new year that will send you off to the stars.

[pianistimo]

dear gilad,

that was a very nice thing to say.  i hope you have a blessed new year, too!  susan

Have a new year that will send you off to the stars.

Though I am not sure if she is so much into space travel

[gilad]

thanks:)

i hate to say it - but i've given up on the walk of fame.  i'm not sure pianists get stars there.  or is it the steinway artists list.  but, i haven't given up on my dream of playing a piano concerto with basically any orchestra that i can find that will have me.  must learn leroy anderson's piano concerto.  then, i will write a letter to the community college symphonies around here and see what i can drum up. 

[wishful thinker]

have you tried karaoke?

[pianistimo]

you mean music minus one.  it's just that i hope people don't say that i'm the minus one part. 

i'm practicing really hard now, wishful thinker.  in fact - today i went through l'isle (you prefer french, i see) of joyeuse about five times.  talk about hacking.  i've hacked debussy now.
