Ha! Why ever might that be, WelbyQuentin?
by Trissinger on November 21st, 2009
:) Very tongue-in-cheek answer from me, my friend. :) I have played in a pit orchestra twice for live productions of this musical, I played "Rooster" in another production and I saw the movie -- after all of that too-close-for-comfort familiarity with the show, the musical and movie are just too darn over-the-top "nice and saccharine" for my taste. Nope - - I wouldn't want her dead, only symbolically. Ha! A darker side must have emerged from my fingers this weekend. :) Good to see you again, Triss!! :)
by WelbyQuentin on November 21st, 2009
Ah, its good to see you have that 'darker side,' WQ. :) Not sure I could handle too much "saccharine Annie" myself. So how are you then?
by Trissinger on November 21st, 2009
I'm doing OK, Triss, thanks. :) [ My favorite part of Annie both dramatically and musically is the song "Maybe" - and that's the very first scene! It goes down hill from there for me - ha! Yet, I tend to like Hayley Mills in "Pollyanna" and I really like the movie "The Sound of Music" -- so, go figure my inconsistency on saccharine. :) ]
by WelbyQuentin on November 22nd, 2009
Hey, good to hear things are well with you, my friend. =0] Yeah, I still like the movie "The Sound of Music." It was one of the first movies with songs in it that motivated me to learn them --- though as an eight or ten year old I'd only picked out the melody with the 'one hand, one finger at a time' approach. Ha!
Do they have an organ or a piano in the orchestra pit? (You'd mentioned before that you play the organ and piano, but I wouldn't know if either would 'fit in the pit.' ~?~)
by Trissinger on November 22nd, 2009
One time it was a regular piano - another time, an electric keyboard-type. :)
by WelbyQuentin on November 22nd, 2009
Ah, gotcha. How was the touch on the "electric keyboard-type?" I have a Roland that hails back 20 odd years now. Of course the keys are weighted and touch sensitive and the tone's pretty good, though low G 2 octaves below middle C is somewhat temperamental --- I swear it has a mind of its own. ':) I took a few piano lessons once again in late August and September and learned a few new playing techniques --- new to ME, at least. :)
by Trissinger on November 22nd, 2009
I don't remember! Ha! Sorry! :) Yours sounds like it's nice, though. :)
by WelbyQuentin on November 22nd, 2009
It would be even nicer if I played it more often, mind you... ':)
But our daughter does taking piano lessons and though she's still playing very basic songs, I really enjoy hearing her play.
by Trissinger on November 22nd, 2009
Cool. :) I literally grew up on a piano bench -- though I am well-rounded, too. I'm not bragging. My family listened to my playing an awful lot, too.
by WelbyQuentin on November 22nd, 2009
"I literally grew up on a piano bench" --- Just how young were you when you started playing? ('Please' tell me you weren't just 3.) (!)
by Trissinger on November 22nd, 2009
[ Six ] :)
by WelbyQuentin on November 22nd, 2009
:) I was 8. Do the brackets mean "We've been talking too long here" in your estimation?
by Trissinger on November 22nd, 2009
Ha! Not at all! With how much I talk? :) In my weirdo mind, I imagined it was like me whispering, 'six' in a soft voice. I have no idea why I thought of the brackets that way and I have no idea what all the rule and traditions are in typing language, like the differences in brackets and all that. Sorry if it read in a different way for you. No worries, Triss. :) Eight years old is about the same time frame as six -- or even three :) We both started around the same time, though there are those who do start at three and never stop playing :)
by WelbyQuentin on November 23rd, 2009
No problem at all, WelbyQuentin Sir. :) Now that I know what brackets around something means to you, well, feel free to whisper something anytime at all!
You know, when I reminisce about piano practicing, about how I'd rehash and parse a few bars of a Bach or Chopin (or whatever) piece, how I'd play those 3 or 4 measures OVER and OVER and OVER (well, you know of what I speak) --- and when I consider how centrally located our piano was in my house growing up, (you could hear it from any room, practically) I'm amazed at how patient my parents were in enduring all of that.
Come to think of it, my eldest sister's room was nearest to the piano of all of ours: her continuous playing of that 'headbanger' type of music makes MUCH more sense in this context!
(...hehe!...poor Sis!)
by Trissinger on November 23rd, 2009
:) That is very good! Ha! The crazy thing about the brackets is that I don't think of the square brackets as whispering all the time, as if it were my rule or anything. I actually just made it up for the first time when I typed [six] and pretended I was whispering. " That looks like I'm whispering, " I thought. Yup -- I need help, I know. :)
