I want a report tomorrow evening. Before midnight. Don't forget.

Hey, school went pretty well today I did talk to some people that I never talked and I think that I got noticed more by more people

Then, it looks like you're making some progress! Please keep up the good work! It just takes some effort and practice!

Yeah but its just so much easier just to be unknown and out the way that does make me feel pretty crappy though

Being involved with and having relationships with others takes effort and maintenance.

There's also going to be risks involved.

You're going to get hurt from time to time. That's just normal. The amount of benefits from being involved with others outweighs the risks and bad things that might occasionally happen.

How well do you play the piano, shank90?

Uh not very but give the sheet music and I can play it within 2 hrs
I am pretty good at the trombone though that's what I learned in middle school
And the guitar was going to just be a hobby but now I have 4 of them and try to play at least 2 times a day

I'm glad that you're trying more! :)

But isn't it much more fun and exciting to take a risk now and then like you did today?? Who wants boring and crappy?

(I'm so proud of you! I'm typing this at work -- had to check in to see if you're back from school yet. Thanks for not disappointing me! )

What are the hardest pieces that you've played on the piano, please?

Yea your probably right
Aww your proud of me shouldn't you be working ;)
I try to never disappoint anybody but no matter how hard I try I always to seem disappoint someone. But that's is were I get my motto : you can't please 100% of the people 100% of the time

Well the hardest one I've played was that song in twilight called the river flows in you but I'm starting to get it

Hi, shank90!

Have you played any classically styled piano music, like Beethoven, Brahms, Chopin, etc. If so, what were some of the pieces, please?

Thanks!

I just listened to the piece that you mentioned, shank90.

YouTube - Edward and Bella - River flows in you (twilight)

It's absolutely beautiful! :) When you get that piece down, you should be able to turn-on and woo any woman with it! ;)

I was not aware of that piece or the film. Sadly, my keepers don't let me out much... and even then, only at night when most people aren't around! :(

You've just given me a new piece to add to my repertoire!

Now, I do have idea as to how hard of music it is that you can play on the piano.

Thanks!

This is wonderful! It's the kind of music I listen to all weekend. Artists who play in this style are David Lanz and Jim Brickman.

I compose, play and improvise in that style also! There's also George Winston to add to the list of those who compose, play and especially him, improvise in that style.

Thanks!

Cool a composer that's awesome
I have been trying this song for the guitar its kind of funny though I keep hearing this song right before I fall asleep but I can never remember it and I'm so in a daze that I can't get up and grab my guitar.

Hey,
You are 18 not 80 you have a whole life time to find a meaningful relationship. Learn to care about yourself the good about you. Knowone can make you happy and feel happy. Once you love yourself then you will attract others like a magnet. You sound like a very nice caring person, you have to beleave in yourself. If you are becoming depressed you may want to go to counseling, it helps!

I was going to mention him (my first experience with this type of music). I had called Carl Fischer, the big music store in the Chicago Loop, to ask if they had Winston's sheet music. They said if only they had a dollar for every time someone asked that question... and no, he does improv, and it's not written down. That was in the mid-80s so maybe there are fake books now??

It sure sounds like it would be annoying!

It's almost 1 here, and I have to go to bed soon.

What are your plans for Friday? Will you do something fun or exciting or daring or challenging?

I too, looked for the sheet music of George Winston pieces, about the same time that you did. Found that none existed, (at least not any that was for sale). So, what I did was that I just listened to it and wrote it down on manuscript paper, so that I could have it to play. Some of his stuff is easy enough though, that if you listen to it a number of times and get it in your head, it's not hard to figure it out without the sheet music.
Thanks!

I'm sorry for being so slow here! My wireless Internet connection got incredibly slow. So, I re-started computer and switched to dial-up.

Have you ever written poetry or the lyrics to a song, shank90?

Thanks!

I own every tune he recorded and have them all committed to memory. I think I will check Libraryland to see if there are any fake books.

I've been checking all over Internet for Yiruma, the composer of shank's piece, the link he posted. Yiruma has his own web site, is on YouTube with various pieces, is in Wikipedia. I'd never heard of him until tonight. I'll have to get out more...

I know you'll do fine. Just think of us here and smile. (She doesn't have any idea what she gave up!)

What I'm trying to do here is to give you an opportunity to express yourself, so that you can feel better about yourself and be potentially more attractive to women because of the way that you feel about yourself and also what you can do.

Are you interested in trying something that would enable you to do that?

Thanks!

Don't keep Clough up too late. He's in my time zone.

Yea I'm trying to express myself more but the tried and true way for me is to go on the soccer field and just let loose that is the one sport that I was good at and it really is my passion

I wasn't talking about sports, but thanks for letting us know what your passion is.

I was wondering if you would like to write a song that's like the music of "River Flows in You" that you could play and to which you could also write the words. I'm giving you a chance to learn how to compose a song - for you, or for you to give to anyone, for that matter.

Thanks!

Umm I really appreciate that but I really don't think I should take on any more projects with school and work and all kinds of crap but thanks for the offer
