I'm not really partial to one time period, though I have been listening to a lot of Baroque stuff recently.

I want a harpsichord...

I wish I could play a harpsichord. I started taking piano lessons from an older sister in my previous congregation about 4 years ago, but I stopped soon after since I had to move to the bay area. I was just beginning to be able to play some simplified versions of the Kingdom songs too. Oh well.

thats sad... cant you find someone else to give you lessons

At first I tried to find someone to continue my lessons with, but (a) I really wanted to take lessons from a sister or brother, and I couldn't find any in my new area that did that and (b) I really don't have enough time to devote to piano lessons what with going to school, teaching, doing research, not to mention all the things we do as JWs. At first I was kinda disappointed, but now I realize that, God-willing, I'll have all the time in the world to do that in the new system.

You're in the bay area? Is there not the best music scene ever near you?

In San Francisco there is, but I live in Danville, which is about an hour's drive from there.

Still good. Wanna trade houses? There's a sister in my hall that teaches piano.

Lol. Isn't the music scene just as good around NYC?

thatdarngirl thatdarngirlOG 2002 ·

Yeah, it's pretty good. But most bands come from the West Coast.

Possibly. I don't really pay much attention to new bands anymore, so I wouldn't know.
