From: Helen Watching good musicians playing is a much better way of learning or improving techniques rather than just listening to the music. Even better is being able to work with other musicians who also plays the blues. My biggest musical regret is that I taught myself to play Celtic harp and had very few music lessons in my life, and I have known very few other harp players. Blues piano players may also be hard to find in a lot of places so watching them on video or TV may be the next best option. |

And it should be lyrical, passionate, somber, somewhat ribald; loud but not too loud, soft but not too soft. It should be honest, sultry, and well-powdered (corn starch is best). Bake at 3500 for 10 minutes. Some authorities such as Manny Hoopkelter maintain that the piano never existed, it was a myth from the Stupid Ages (1900-2001). Others say that they have seen pianos in used piano stores. The greatest virtuoso on the piano was Sigmund Freud. Yet others say it was an instrument of torture used on children. |
