i am so moved, farkel, thank you for sharing this with us.
my dad plays the piano by ear (nothing compared to what i just heard, i assure you) and i used to fall asleep listening to him working things out on the piano... the music was one of the few places he would let his emotions run free and you could hear the passion. it seeded in me a love for the piano and especially hearing it played by someone who feels the music.
you may think it imperfect and flawed, but to my ears it was perfection. the only thing that could have made it more beautiful would have been to be there while you played to feel the vibrations and be a part of it.
i am both amazed and humbled... and quite honestly thats a difficult thing to accomplish with me. please never stop.
thank you for sharing,
jackie
