Furthering My Musical Endeavors

I've made an excellent discovery today. While wandering a music shop that was conducting a going out of business sale (and after pulling myself away from playing the pianos, testing a bass, and getting caught in the glare of shiny metal instruments) I came upon a couple dwindling shelves of music. The selection was already fairly slim so there wasn't much there I wanted, and most of what I did want I wasn't willing to spend the money for. But somewhere in there I uncovered a small music book titled Broadway Blockbusters. I know less than half of the sixteen songs, but the ones I do know, I will now be able to play. The book is intentionally aimed at beginners, my level. Much better than the fake book of Broadway music I have (though I love the music enough to keep attempting that anyway) and most of the other music I have which is just a bit more complicated than I can yet handle. Granted, I had Disney music before.. and still do.. but it's exciting to have something else to add to my "playable" collection.

If I'm playing them all the time, that means I get to sing them, too. Someday I am going to make it into a musical, and happily claim my chance to sing (and act!) on stage. Despite the fact that my only current accompaniment is myself and the noise made by extra books suddenly falling off the piano, and my only current audience consists of people aged five and three. I want more! But you'll see. I'll have my chance. And when I do.. well, I probably won't be playing piano for it.

Nevertheless, I am extremely pleased with my new book.
