I have found a captive audience for my piano renditions. I have the cell phone numbers of my four kids! I can record a particular song on my cell phone, opt for the send mode, and voila'--They get it whether they wanted it or not, although they do have the option to not listen.
A couple of days ago I sent a small portion to my kids of one I'm working on--George Gershwin's "Rhapsody in Blue." I doubt I'll have it worked up in this lifetime as it is a complex piece, 31 pages long. I wanted them to hear what little bit I have accomplished. Two of the girls responded, one wanting to know the name of the piece, the other commenting, "It's not 'Happy Birthday'." My response to the latter: "It's not your birthday."
Well, today IS her birthday. This morning I sat down at the piano with my cell phone and recorded "Happy Birthday" and sent it on its way. The return message was, "Thank you. I've been waiting for that. :)" What fun! Happy birthday, Lisa!
