such fun!

I bought a keyboard. He's beautiful, and I'm learning to play Hero by Regina Spektor.
I took a taxi home after I bought it, and sitting awkwardly in the backseat with a box the length of my body, the taxi driver lit up and smiled at me in the mirror. "Keyboard, eh?!"
"Yeah, I'm learning how to play."
"Oh, you're new to it! That's awesome. My son plays the keyboard and he loves it. It's such a great instrument. Make sure you sing along with the music."
"Okay, I will."
"Enjoy it - and don't forget, sing along! Don't just play it. Sing."

I will, Mr Taxi Driver. I will.


ps: if you're reading this, thanks James! i probably never would have bought one had it not been for you, and our amazing lunchtime music room sessions.
