Hungarian Dancing ad infinitum

May 13, 2007 at 3:58 AM

Playing at the Ladies' Event at church went well. I'm trying to get more experience playing in public, and somehow I wasn't as nervous playing at my church. I think it's because my teacher was not there. Hee hee.

Today I went back to that sidewalk in front of my daughter's piano lesson to practice the Hungarian Dances #2 and #5 for tomorrow's recital. No birds this time also. I'm sure my family and neighborhood have just about had it with those Hungarian Dances. I'm sure I've played them 100's of times already. My daughter has these mealy worms in a plastic container sitting in our living room. Those poor worms have been subjected to Hungarian Dances for months already. They are on death row, awaiting to be a meal for her Bearded Dragon lizard. Poor worms, what's worse? Hungarian Dances #2 and #5 over and over and over, or being inside a lizard's stomach? I wonder if they're groaning, "Silver Tweezers pick me up!"

Ha ha, Clare. :) It just now occurred to me that my cats have been escaping much more than usual...I wonder if there's a connection to my increased practicing. See you tomorrow!
