Just before Thanksgiving I purchased a Yamaha keyboard on Craigslist. What a find! I serenaded myself right through the holidays with finger-plucked Christmas carols. I aspire to take lessons before we leave Virginia, as I have a gift certificate for five free lessons. However, fear, a pervasive ghost in my life keeps telling me that I don’t really want to be told how bad I am!

But the dreamer never dies. Perhaps, if I take the lessons, I could become the next Dennis Jernigan. If that ever happens, I’ll have to invest in versatile pro tools. I doubt I’ll find them on Craigslist!
