Although I would be delighted if a giant cookie rolled out of that truck, it is in fact, something much much better.
The joy comes not just in playing it, hearing it played, and sitting staring at it praying it doesn't vanish out of my imagination - there is joy in the feeling of validation.
I am a pianist. A musician. A singer. A composer. A teacher. And now, I have an instrument that makes me feel valid. Like I'm doing this for real.
It's like a computer programmer using a Commodore 64 to program, or if Emeril was cooking in the woods over an open fire. Most professions require certain tools specific to that profession. Mine is no different.
In a month, I lose my title of Executive Director. Now, it doesn't bother me quite as much.
I am a musici
Thank you, Guy.
