When I was a little girl, my parents paid for me to have piano lessons. From early elementary school to around the time I met John, I took lessons.
Certain songs I really enjoyed playing, and memorized. Anytime I hear those songs, my fingers still remember (mostly) just what to do. Surprisingly, it even causes me to long to play a piano, although I do not own one.
I've tried playing eletronic keyboards in the past, and I feel sort of dumb for saying this, but the keys feel different. I mean, sure, the skillset is still there but its somehow not as enjoyable...or something than playing on a normal piano.
I remember the type of Piano it was, it was a Whitney Kimball. If the day ever comes where I have the time and inclination, I'd like to pick up playing again.
I was pleasantly surprised how man free piano's are available on craigslist!
The songs I memorized that I really liked to play are:
Can-Can
Music Box Dancer
You're A Grand Old Flag
You Are My Sunshine
I also picked up the simple sheet music for "My Heart Will Go On" and taught myself that one on my own before finally giving up on playing.
