I fell in love with this piece a couple of weeks ago and almost played nothing else til I got it memorised. I shared a very rough recording with my students so they can watch my oopsy moments. Hands show moods and thoughts and my rough recording was a MOODY juxtaposition to this. I won't torture you with that version. I'll torture you with this one instead! I will make a better recording down the road. I'm at the crossroad where I need to play something else before I fall completely out of love with this piece.
Solas, its been real but I´m gonna put some love on another piece. Cuz, ya know I´m a player ❤️
My favorite time to practice is later in the evening when the din of life quiets down. I usually play til 10pm or 11pm. But my favorite time to record is when the sun lands on my piano just so .. to be my dance partner. Between 5pm and 6:30pm. I never get bored because the sun moves and the light changes. I can get plenty frustrated though because it’s recorded in one take and the sun sometimes surprises me …. Oooh that looks cool….oops mistake.
Anyway, this is Solas by Jamie Duffy. It must be relatively new. There's not many recordings of it yet. Folks on Youtube only play a section. Here, you can enjoy the whole enchilada or at least my version. I found two different arrangements on a site where the arrangers bickered over transcription details. Geeks in a huff are goofy. I made my own modifications to play with capturing the light under my hands.
Dance choreography for fingers!
I miss dancing and going to dance classes. They require proof of vaccination in Los Angeles and some make you mask up. Steamy salsa dance class with a mask anyone? The Covid lifestyle is still very real here. It is a social life killer unless you can play along with the "papers please" game. People still like to state their vax status upon introductions. And they feel mortified if you are "unprotected." I feel like I have to say something like I promise to not die on their account. The dating apps have a section to put your vax status. 🙄
My piano is my boyfriend for now until Californians calm down.

Very impressive! We just went to dance class last night. There was only one maskhole, and nobody asks about your vaccine status. We got our 10,000+ steps by doing both the intermediate and the beginner swing dance class. Lots of live music and chances to dance in our area, mostly country music and rockabilly. Although, I bet there is a ton of salsa music down in San Antonio.
Oooh swing dance class! I’ve done waltz, tango, salsa and never got around to swing dance. I got smitten by flamenco because I didn’t need a dance partner. You two are probably the most adorable couple there! I couldn’t think of anything more fun than dancing with a sweetheart.
People are starting to put their masks back on over here. I missed the memo but I guess there’s some new fear porn making the rounds. I hope your dance classmate drops their mask soon. Dancing is too joyful to keep smiles hidden.
Thanks for your hello and enjoying the music. If you know anyone who wants to take on piano lessons, tell them of me. I’m accepting new students.
:)
Cheers,
