Aug. 26th, 2010 05:26 pmDay 26 - A song that you can play on an instrument
Once upon a time, I took piano lessons. I did NOT get along with the teacher or her style of teaching, and I never really developed a positive association with the instrument like everyone had hoped I would. So of the few recognizable songs I ever learned to play, pretty much nothing remains but my memory of teaching myself to play them. ("Stay" by Shakespear's Sister comes to mind; not many others do.) And now that I'm old and bitter, I'm going to have to go with "Chopsticks" or "Heart & Soul." I can actually play both the melody and the accompaniment (not at the same time) for the second one! Woohoo!
Day 27 - A song that you wish you could play
Vienna Teng, "Harbor." This could have fit in many other categories, but I'm putting it here.
