Hammers and Strings

Music. Hmm. Lately I have been playing a lot of it. I guess I shouldn't really say lately because I always am playing. I guess I could say lately I have been playing music in different avenues. I am still playing with Canoes (obvi, that would be like saying I wake up every morning. Kinda pointless), at my current church (Journey), and recently at another church called Rivers Crossings Community Church. In addition I have played twice for their worship leader's group, Brandon Gilliam
It's been a ton of fun, I really enjoy taking a backseat. I don't schedule practice, I don't text everyone, I don't cancel practice, I don't drive people, I don't pay people, I don't stress, I just play. I have been branching out and working on playing full midi with my Yamaha cp33, MacBook, Logic, and Focusrite scarlet. I am still learning, but I am getting comfortable every day. 
While all this is great, I will make a statement: I will not be completely happy with my music (mostly Canoes) until I can play a real piano. Whether thats a grand, an upright, a cp70/80 it doesn't matter. I need hammers hitting strings. Let the quest begin. 


Saturday night I played with Brandon Gilliam at The Underground in Forest Park.
