On The Move.....

Well, I'm in the final stages of packing, I got a nice job offer in Madison, Wisconsin that I accepted, so I'll be headed out of Arizona in approximately 27 hours and counting....the major reason why I finally started teaching myself the piano was because I was unemployed and had access to one, so it just made sense. Now, three months later, I'll be leaving Arizona and a good friend of mine....the Yamaha Clavinova CVP-75 that I have spent countless hours at....well not countless, maybe liiiiiike...140....or 150 hours?? either way, suffice it to say, me 'n Mr. Clav 75 have gotten to know eachother pretty well over the past few months.....

I couldn't be more happy with this first step in my Piano journey, ummm, scratch that, would definitely be happier if my right wrist never started hurting! But nevertheless, I'm playing songs that I'm proud of, songs I didn't think I would learn for many years to come....It feels good to know that I can sit down at a piano and play a couple pretty nice songs from memory.......it feels even better to know that, say a year from now, I'll be playing at a much higher level.

So as I get ready for my move, I say goodbye to the piano, and will be taking a little break as I locate, then settle, into my future residence. I have plans to purchase a pretty nice little digital piano myself (in the $800, or so, range).....and will continue my journey. I'm hoping I get the new instrument in September, but due to financial constraints, I may be waiting until mid-October.....Either way, surprise surprise, I won't be posting much in the coming weeks.

As for now, sleep is beckoning, as well as the surplus of packing I have saved for tomorrow haha.....

Hope this finds you well.

Quick question for you - what do you think of the CVP-75? I'm thinking of buying one and would like your opinion if you don't mind sharing. Thanks!
