"Maybe it's just a feeling that I could name, but I'd probably best blame...Impatience"

— "Impatience" from North by Elvis Costello

Please forgive these quick pics I took last night in my excitement, I plan to rewire and get everything situated and then replace these pics this weekend! :)

So, as the little pin taped on my computer, that my wife got me, says "Patience is such a waste of time", I ordered my Korg SV-1 88 key Stage Vintage Keyboard last week and it arrived yesterday!!!

Life is short...I work hard...Only so many years to enjoy my health and sanity...etc. :add excuse here:  I've said them all though, and they are true. Of course I should be more prudent with my money and keep the debt to a minimum for our future BUT....

Wish I didn't know now what I didn't know then...Well, actually I do!

Today I can learn so much faster that I ever dreamed thanks to forums, video tutorial, computer tutorial and sheet music all over the place! 28 years ago when I started playing an instrument (guitar) a few magazines were available but certainly no internet.

Okay, admittedly, there's that part of me that's jealous of new generations having these tools. Sure I wish that I'd had them, but I didn't and I still have learned how to play decently well. Alright, that's a cop out, I know it.

I love the art and skill of making music myself and love to share that with anyone. Nothing I like better than encouraging kids to get involved with playing any instrument...expressing themselves, a creative outlet, what have you.

So I come across sites like this that I'm happy, and equally, amazed they exist:
onlinepianist.com
pianotte.szm.com
Music Theory

Love it! I can't wait to dig in and really accelerate my learning!
