An unusually short post

I got to accompany Kenneth Cope today at church. He was there for the YSA conference. It was pretty neat. The thing that impressed me was that when we practiced and I didn't play it the way he intended, he complimented me on the skills I was demonstrating (following the singer) and then asked for the skills he wanted (play it straight), rather than telling me not to get fancy and just play it straight. It was a good example. Oh, and our resident Music Master/Mistress also took time out to tell me I did a good job. That was cool. And best of all, the church piano got tuned. I can't wait to play on it some more.
