Hi Gail,
You asked, “Why do you play music?”
It would be interesting to hear how the various “students” would answer that question.
Until it was brought to my attention, I never really thought of how much music is a part of my life. It’s just always there. Always.
If I’m not listening and singing or humming to 88.7 KNKX (formerly KPLU) while working in my shop, or singing along with a song in my car, I’m whistling or singing all the time…
Tatiana recently mentioned that she’d never known anyone else who was always singing or whistling.
Do to laziness/stubbornness when I was younger, I never learned to play an instrument. What a lost opportunity!
I always had to count on someone else to accompany me when I was singing for weddings, wakes, parties, even Rainbow Girl Installations!
I had an old Harmony soprano uke around for maybe 10 years (“Someday I’m gonna learn to play that thing!”), just standing there in the corner, seldom picked up and played.
A WCC ad peaked my interest and got me to one of Tom’s classes for beginners. Hey. This isn’t so hard. And I can sing along.
That class got me going, and with the many wonderful classes I’ve taken from you, there’s now an additional wonderful facet to the music in my life.
Now when I hear a song that I like, my first thought is “Can I play that on my uke?”.
