BTW, for youse guys who might be a bit "hesitant," submitting went off without a hitch.

Excellent. I'll see if I can manage a decent recording before too long.

      Home sweet home and back on my piano.
      Only 10 days left to get something prepared. This and doing some sight reading, additionally. And Sophia is making lot of pressure on Blues piano progress. But I really don't wat to miss out the #1 recital. I guess I ll do something very easy, maybe something from the lower to mid grade sight reading material. Thumbs crossed🤞

      I promise to get something in before the last day. It may still be a bit "in progress" ...

      Enthusiastic but mediocre amateur.

      Teething problems with the video link 😟 - hope that can be sorted - but I think I'm in ... 🤞

        I have a piece from book 2 in mind, but every time I think I've nailed it I discover that it was only a lucky blip on the normal pattern of poor play throughs. 😬 It's not even that tricky, but red button syndrome triggers any weaknesses. If I can get a reasonable recording I'll submit it, but otherwise maybe I'll skip this recital.

        "Don't let's ask for the moon, we have the stars." (Final line from Now,Voyager, 1942)

          Nightowl If it helps, I fully expect my submission to be riddled with errors. 🙂

          Enthusiastic but mediocre amateur.

            Mine's not error free either. And even that was a lucky fluke among many tries. I feel your pain, Nightowl and TC 🙂

            Nightowl Don't strive for perfection! You can't control what you do on a live performance either, but at least with the red button, you do get a chance to choose the performance you liked the most. It's more real that way anyway.

            Even professionals edit their recordings in post, but that's not what we're going for here.

            You should see how bad my recording is. I usually try to control everything about my instrument and recording environment, but this time I simply surrendered to circumstances. There's a joy in that as well. 🙂
