Welcome to Brad's online memory archives.

Pianissimo Piano

I played piano for church yesterday. I play on the first and third Sundays usually. I enjoy doing it. I enjoy almost any involvement with music. I like music.

Yesterday before the prelude, the church was really quiet, so when I started playing, I was as quiet as I could possibly be. I had the soft pedal down, and was using the lightest touch possible.

After I finished playing, one of the parishioners came to the back to greet a visitor, and stopped by the piano to say I should play more softly. He was serious, but I laughed because I had played as quietly as I could.

It was even more funny, because this particular person is always telling me to play more softly. I think it’s something with his hearing aids. I do at least appreciate that he says something to me instead of just talking about it with others.

    Awwww….. everybody’s a critic. I think you’re right about the hearing aids – they can mess with a person’s perception. I agree that it’s good that he talked to you. None of that gossipy talk.

    I love that you play for church! I watched Anna and Tara’s concert last night and was marveling at the musical talent in your family. So cool!

    How awesome that you play for church! I’m still trying to learn one hymn and get thru it without a train wreck? I love to play too tho.
