  • Thanks Unc. Yeah I thought you'd like that story too. I'm working on a vid but I'm at an unfamiliar computer  and I'm kinda slow when I'm out of my regular way of doing things.

  • LOL, love the No Fun-damental Baptist church thing and the being careful not to lift your leg off the ground while playing thing.   Good for your mom's sense of humor.  

    Pastors, they pretty much make the church.  They make it good, bad or mediocre.   Kind of pushes me into worshiping mostly through Gospel and prayer and not so much in church. 

  • Oops, I was dancing!

  • lol!!

    Well i know God has a sense of humor.

    He made me!

    And the duckbill platypus? what!!!!

    Better not lift your foot off the ground when music is playing you could be dancing!!! 

  • Hey J. Robinson you'll get a kick out of this story. She played piano in Church all the time until they got a new pastor at The Fundamental Baptist Church. He didn't like the way she jazzed up the hymns so she quit and now calls it " The No Fun - damental Baptist"!

  • I'm 100% with you TN Twang!

    Thanks J.

    Yup Unc, actually just a few months shy of 94. If I can figure out how to get a vid from facebook to here your request will be filled.

    Thanks much Wes, anon and Reeds.

  • The gov't. is looking for ways to keep us alert and active as we age, and they want to teach the young 'uns the discipline and mathematical awareness that they need for STEM studies, so they rip music out of the schools' curriculum!

    Oh yeah, that'll work.

  • So your musical influence is your momma  

    Well thank her for us! What an inspiration!!!!  :)

     

  • Liar!  No way that cool lady is 94!   

    Good on her no matter how old she is.   My mom is nearing 88 and can not play piano anymore, but maybe she could sing along with your momma.   My request would be for 'You Are My Sunshine'.  

  • nice!!!
