Oh don't put me back there again. Ugh. 7 yrs old with poker
chips on the back of my hands. I played along with her sadistic
game 'til I got home then the wrists went back down. Years of
lessons. THEN - 7th grade typing class: the poker chips
returned. Same game: I played along while in class. At home?
Wrists went back down. Nope. I know *how to* do it that way but
my shoulders say _no_. No cure because it ain't broken smile
emoticon 110 wpm consistently and 17 notes per second on the
piano with the same posture, I proved them all wrong. In
short, you can keep your floating arm shit and do it if *you*
want to. But I'll beat any of you in a Typeracer competition and
my arpeggios FLY on the piano, while my hands physically SLIDE
across the keys as my dead piano teacher rolls in her grave.
Auntie Maye. 3 years with her. Wasn't my Aunt. Heavy music
theory. They all pushed for me to go to Julliard at 11. I said
"no" after a few months of extra torture lessons and realized
I'd be doing MORE poker hand shit. Nope. Nope and Nope.
