Playin' the piano is not really that hard, Dani. You oughta just give it a try. You find a few chords and play. Keep it simple. Get used to one key first, like key of D or key of G. Then branch out.

It's playin' the piano really well that is hard. I guess maybe that's what you was worried about?

They say that if you put a chimp at a piano keyboard and leave him there for 6 months, he will end up playin' all the scores of the great masters.

It ain't true. I knew this chimp who was playin' for years and years and years in a local bar on slow afternoons...and all he could play was "You Are My Sunshine" and "Show Me The Way To Go Home"..............badly! Then he started tryin' to learn "Copacabana". Hours and hours of botched attempts at "Copacabana". That was it. I couldn't take no more. I was goin' nuts. It was him or me. So I talked someone into givin' him a job with the circus, and he left town. Thank God that plan worked out. I don't like killin' a brother primate over some lousy music.
