Uppity Stuff

I was just thinking I needed another place to post on the web that I'll eventually ignore. Also, not really uppity, like, at all. --@kellydeal

sixbucks: The Zombies: The Way I Feel Inside

Piano Tuner: Epiloge

The man works on our 1940’s piano for an hour. It sounds a lot better. When he is done, he calls me in to play it. I play it and ask a few questions. It’s old and makes some weird sounds that would require some extensive repair. Nothing major though.

After he asks me about my life. He eyes my saxophones and says, “Would you mind playing for me?”

So I get one out and play a few bars of Georgia on My Mind. I’m a classical musician mostly, but I can get around the changes for Georgia. He smiles.

After that we walk about my life and my fiancée. He packs up his gear and prepares to leave. I ask him for the total. He says, “I have been very blessed in my life. I am now in the business of giving back to people who are just starting. Your playing was a payment in return for my service.” Then, through my protests, he put on his shoes and left.

I wish I played better.

What a sweet story.

Guys, I am totally wearing my SPORTS! t-shirt in honor of the World Series American Sporting Event. Again.

I’m not sure what else I can do to tell you I am serious about this sports shit*.

*You’ll see this photo again around Super Bowl time. I’m telling you, the $3.99 spent on iron-on letters has been my best, evergreen investment ever.
