11. For a long time, when I help with the kids

Dec 25

My favorite part of the day is sitting in that spot, listening to my granddaughter play the piano. She isn't a prodigy, but she loves learning and playing. The guy has been a professional musician for years. It was eye opening to hear her holding her own, explaining her lessons when he asked questions about them and his explanation of how he learns songs and plays them. I was entertaining to hear them catch on to playing a duet after just a few minutes of example and explaining. It is a well-known song, but I'm so tired, I can't think of the name. We were all familiar with the tune, but we didn't know the title until the guy mentioned it.
