Let there be music

It's JULY already!!

We are just cruising along here at the ranch. It's a mundane life, but it's mine.

I wrote a song this week at the piano. I've never done that before. Well, okay, we HAD to do it when we were in theory class in college, but that doesn't count because there were all kinds of RULES surrounding that assignment. Besides, technically it was a "piece" and not a "song". I can't say it's really done yet because I sort of have the music part done in my head and my fingers on the piano, but the words come and go . . . . and I can't get the music out of my head and I can't get the first lines out of my head. But it's been really uplifting for me to be able to do something like this. I just let go, and it happened. I can't really articulate how I've always wanted to do it . . . . but never really tried, never thought I could. I cannot play by ear, but I have been told that one can develop a little bit of talent in that area. My first song is nothing that someone will really applaud, by it is just rewarding personally to me. And that's all that matters. It will stay personal. Sometimes that's all that music has to be.
