WOW! If you are ever in St Joe MO can you come play that in my living room? (actually the piano is in the den)
Also I have taken your advice about committing songs to memory. Whenever I sit down to practice I quickly play through the songs I've memorized to help solidify them into my memory. Obviously once I learn more songs I won't be able to do this every time but it's helping for now. So far I have memorized Auld Lang Syne, Joy To The World, and a simplified version of Lavender's blue. Now working on Somewhere Over The Rainbow.
