1. Learn to play Chopin's Prelude in E Minor.
It's a beautiful piece and the best possible use of opposeable thumbs.

3. Hi, dicksteele. LOL. By the way, I love the Ray Charles mention in
your signature field there...

Ray played like he could see better than I ever could, that's for sure.

10. It's from a Joan Osborne song I just heard the other day...

11. You bet. It's a great line.
Darn. Now you've got me homesick for Ray's voice.

9. It is. The man knew what he was doing. At the peak of his career he
weighed about 98 lbs -- tubercular all his life, but there wasn't anything tubercular about the keyboard compositions.

Some of the most gorgeous stuff ever to come out of a piano soundboard.

17. I try to keep one of mine up my ass at all times.
Don't know if that's your style, though.

Good luck in the future!
