...I just LOVE this performance...by...

THE RUSSIAN RED ARMY!!!!    >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:(

When I was in Grammar School, we had all kinds of drills...Fire Drills...etc.  The one that I kinda liked was the Nuclear War Drill.  We would all leave the classroom, and find our siblings.  I was DELIGHTED to walk up to my older brother, and take his hand.  He wasn't happy...but that was part of the drill...older kids would take the younger brothers and sisters by the hand...but...

I WAS GRABBING HIS HAND...I KNEW THAT HE DIDN'T LIKE IT~~~~

After the Teachers accounted for all of us, they would release us, and we would walk home.  He would pull his hand off of mine when we got around the corner, and I would giggle.

But, part of me was wondering why we were doing this.  SF was just about 30 miles away, and the Naval Weapons Storage place was in the foothills about a mile away.  I was smart enough, at that tender age, to figure that both would be hit.

I REALLY wondered if just going home would save us... :'(

...Performing Music....I just can't explain it...your body does things that astonish you...

I believe that SOMETHING enters your body...and guides you...

I usually had very nice feelings when I played music, it spoke to me, but I tried to not let it take me over. Once, I was having coffee with a very troubled man, who played a bass guitar in a rock band, he was a client, and had a DUI that I was handling.  I was talking to him about that evening. and he said that he just got upset and angry after performing and got into an accident.  I had the police report...He had had a few...

His music had deranged him...IMHO

Performing music DOES take something out of you, or places something in.  At times, I would be filled with energy...other times I would be looking at the music, playing the cello, and actually thinking,,,"OK, Lefty...put your left paw on the G#"  She would, and then I would tell Righty..."We are going to the D string for this...I know that it is easier on the A string...but this is what we are going to do."  She would...

Performing on the piano was harder...both hands were romping all over the keys...and I wasn't telling them what to do...they just romped!!!  There was NO WAY that I could plan where to place each finger...I just looked down...and watched them romp.

And...THEY DID ROMP!!!

I agree  performing does add more than it takes, the same can be said of acting. I have done concertos on piano and stage acting though it has been a long, long time since. I was clasically trained on piano and did comwdy acting  also taught tae kwon do for a time, 1 of 3 styles I learned.

...I REALLY enjoyed playing this work...I spent many hours in the practice rooms studying it.  A few times, I was given a key to get into the Main Conservatory, and would get on the stage, turn on the light to the grand piano, and play.  The audience would be dark...but once...I got aupplause when I finished this.  A few of my friends had followed me in... :o

I almost pooped my panties...I was REALLY startled...I hadn't seen them...and my mind was somewhat disoriented...Music can do that to you... ::)

Thank you for reading, and commenting on my thread, Nate...*HUGS*

My Ex just didn't 'feel' music.  I would come off the stage, my cello in her case, or just clutching my piano music, my mind all wound up...over what I had tried to express to the audience.  I would be quiet as he drove us home, and after we got in, he would ask...

"What is for dinner?"

I would stare at Him...but...say...

"Let me see what we have."

I would cobble something together...

A few times he would look at what I had 'cobbled together',  :P and call a delivery service

I would be relieved...KFC tasted better than my 'cobble' ::)

it takes a bit to shift feom performing to thinking of other things those who have not performed do not realize this.

...That is so true...Nate... :)...performing music is unlike any other thing that we humans do...I performed this, and that is when I believe I became TRULY insane...I REALLY believed that MY HANDS...(I named them Sniffies)... were sentient creatures that had been stuck on the ends of my arms!!!  I would scold them as I practiced the piano, or praise them...and buy them some prawns, or crab, for dinner when I had a good practice session.  (I would eat it...that was just my excuse for spending more than my budget  ;))  Usually, they did what I was telling them to do....but a number of times I just gathered my music, and walked out of the practice room.  A few times, I tried to PUNISH THEM by making them do scales...and they just stumbled all over the keyboard...and I took them home...and ate some fish...they liked it when I ate fish.

Yes, Nate, people who have not performed music, simply cannot understand what performing does to your mind.   ;)

performers are usually a little different, nothing wrong with that, comes from being creative.

I just LOVED playing croquet!!!   :)

In HS, I set up a regulation course in our back yard.  Usually, I just hit one ball around the rickets...but...sometimes...

MY MULTIPLE PERSONALITIES CAME OUT...and

I hit ALL six balls around the course...and each ball fought the other!!!  I did love it when I placed my left foot on one ball, (Amanda would giggle, and Janice would be angry) , that was up against another, and I swung the mallet, hard.  The other ball ended up in the bushes, and I would haul it out, and put it back on the lawn.  I spent hours practicing.

Later in life, when I was chaperoning a 4-H Event, the kids nagged me into playing a game.  I said that I didn't understand the game, and held the mallet VERY clumsy as I stepped to the first wicket.

I won the game...I had spent most of the time aiming at their balls, so I could send them into the bushes.   >:(

But, my green ball hit the end stake...

FIRST!!!!

They didn't invite me to play, again.   ::)

...Looking forward to tomorrow...

...TURKEY GUTS!!!!!   ;D

I like the taste of turkey, but we are not going to have the family gathering, CA has said we can't do that.  So, my brother is going to drop off a dinner for my mother and I.  I asked him if the dinner would have the turkey 'GUTS'...and he said...."NOOO"  I yelled at him, and he hung up!  ::)   I always enjoyed eating the liver, and the heart, and would chew on the gizzard...and swallow it.

In R/T, I am barely civilized... ;D

Opposing attorneys quickly found that out... >:(
