My professor at Julliard told me "practice, practice, practice and you'll make it..if you don't practice you'll end up like some o' those hippies in tight pants.."
Well, I practiced and I practiced alot. But it didn't happen, not at least the way it was suppose to happen. I never made it in the classical scene but I did become a success in the bar "don't shoot the pianist" scene.
My first night in this new job is this Thursday. I'm the piano man at this posh bar. I checked out the piano (a beautiful well maintained Steinway grand. Rare to find such a masterpiece in a bar, but this was a good sign).
I'll also be bringing in my giant tip glass; a bit passe but it performs its duty well.
Until tomorrow night then, here's to my new job.
