Oddly enough, even though I lost some rigorous skill and technique, I think my playing matured anyway. I think if I got my technique back now I'd be better than ever, because I have an even stronger sense about what to "do with" the music, (shaping, touch, etc.) than I did when I was younger. Of course it takes good technique to be fully in control, though, haha. I have also taught piano on and off since high school, and that actually provides some insights on unexpected things as well. I have also experimented more with impromtu stuff and sight-reading (when one loses real time and effort, one actually seems to improve at sight-reading!) in the past few years.

Anyway, it's nice to meet you! Welcome to TDL! Though I've been so low-activity for so long that I feel kind of silly "welcoming" anyone. I was much more active...once upon a time... Sigh.

Oh yes, I know all about years of theory, and Bach, though from almost the beginning I hated lesson books, and I think I quickly wriggled out of them, and got my teachers to allow what I considered "real" music. I was a funny kid. I was also lucky to have teachers who were willing to let me move that way. And I know about intense teachers wielding wild threats and hauling my "best" out of me whether I liked it or not. Of course I liked it, except when I nearly died of it. Like I said, I was very serious in high school, but decided on a different path for college, so it is just recreational now. That's actually kind of relaxing, and definitely fun. Of course I'm not as technically strong as I was then and would have been if I'd gone for a piano performance degree, but some of it actually does come back with practice. (surprise! )

hahaha whoop for them cool nerds ...>.<

Chapter 6 is posted! Told you you wouldn't have to wait long!

Hey! I don't remember if we've met and you just changed your name, or if I don't know you. I've been around for a long time, but I'm largely inactive right now. Good thing I decided to swing by and check in, I guess. I think I started playing piano when I was about seven, so if you count my entire life from then on up, I guess that's fourteen years. I didn't get really serious for the first year or two, and in college I regressed a lot as well, though. I considered going to college for music, but decided against it. The effect was that I lost a lot of my skill. I've gotten some of it back since I graduated, but I'm certainly not nearly as good as I was at the end of high school. I guess that's just the way these things go. I still love it, though! How about you?

really tho... i have childish ppl in my class thst make drama

I once had a good walking stick that I made myself from a chopped-off branch in a brush pile. I went on hikes with BOTH my now-deceased wives using that stick; it carried fine memories. Unfortunately, when I was using it part-time in my first season with the Colorado Renaissance Festival, some bypasser stole it while I wasn't looking.

We probably should pause the RP now for Lava and Mozart to catch up.

hahahahaha XD I've been up to doing my hmwk and constanly getting yelled at by family

You'll come to see Phaedrus as a very complex character before the story is through. He's one of the more interesting characters I've ever created.
