It's good to be back in the saddle. I saw some favorite students yesterday, and we made progress, which is all I ask. Today is a long but fun day for me. I get to see my piano friend Alee, who is now eight. I've been working with her since she was four. She started on guitar but is now on piano. I also get to see my adult student, Jeanette, today, as well as Zane, who is six and likes to hide (quite poorly) under the piano before I come into the lesson room. I will attach a mermaid that Alee left in the lesson room a few months ago. I put it in my pocket and gave it back to her the following week.

Those kids sound pretty cute. I see you made it home okay. Are you going to share some pictures with us? I hope so.

You should teach her how to play and sing "Piano Man." It would be funny and ironic because she's a girl.

Another of my favorite songs. Along with "Seasons in the Sun."

@HaruLoid It is sought after my "enough" people. If you reached out, you could probably find students.

@TheHorse I do enjoy painting and drawing. Unfortunately, that is something rarely sought for by many.

Yeah. She can be a pill, but I enjoy interacting with her. Today, she did her usual "delay tactics," but we got some learnin' done.
