But I'm not a really good player -- I studied piano through high school, and I love Renaissance music, especially English Renaissance -- but I don't have the real talent and I don't practice enough (mostly, I don't practice enough!!!!)
But I love having the choir parties at my house, because we get the music director to sit down at the harpsichord and he just plays and plays . . . from memory. Then he asks what I have in the house, and I get out Lady Nevelle's Book or Parthenia or the Goldberg Variations, and he just plays and plays some more . . . . we never get tired of listening to him play.
I know how that goes! In Barbershop Harmony, it’s called “the afterglow,” though sometimes, it doesn’t need to be after something.
I’ve had music lessons during all my school years, but I never had much talent. I can sing (tenor) but all I can sing is strong. There is no quality to my voice.
As an adult, I took piano lessons, and I would like to have a keyboard, now, but...
Anyway, I can still tune a violin!
The late Igor could play anything he heard. Used to upset me....I was so lacking!
