I haven’t played piano in ages, it seems, though probably a more truthful story is that I haven’t played piano in two weeks.  My back went out last night, and I had to cancel my Saturday plans, so I’ve been spending the day in and out of bed.  I was getting restless, and I remembered the keyboard, sitting in the upstairs hallway.  Sometimes, even if it hurts to sit, the benefit of doing something as spiritually grounding as playing music can outweigh the discomfort I otherwise feel in my body.  I only recorded this little snippet, but then I went on to get lost in sight-reading (slash remembering) Chopin Scherzos, and it really was a wonderful hour.  My back isn’t much worse for wear, either!
