A little bit of me

I know I usually post stuff about my kids. So I decided I would do a post about me.
A little background info:
About 2 years ago, I got my ipod for christmas. My sister put a bunch of stuff on it for me. Among the songs was an amazing piano solo that didn't have a name. It just said 'piano'. I became nearly obsessed with this song and did everything I could think of to find out what it was called and look for the sheet music. I played the recording for an iphone that has an app that recognizes songs. Nothing. I tried websites that did the same thing. I searched musicians who's music sounded similar. It wasn't until this week that I had a breakthrough. (I realize that it is only a song. This is starting to sound like Cold Case.) Anyway, I have really been enjoying the Olympics this year. A few days ago during the pairs ice skating, the Chinese pair Zheng & Zheng did their short program to this song. I felt this was my breakthrough. Somebody had to know what song they skated to. I searched for a few days then enlisted my sister to help with the search. She found the name of my song (thanks Mind). Piano Fantasy. I tried in vain all day to print my song with no luck. Nearly 12 hours later, after buying it twice and printing it at my neighbor's (thanks steph), I had my song. And I wanted to share it with you. I realize that I could have just given you the movie of the ice skating and then you could hear it and watch them skate, but I decided I wanted to record me playing it. I have been playing the piano for such a long time, but I can't think of many recordings of me playing. So my plan was to practice and practice until it was perfect and then perform it for you. I am sorry. I couldn't wait. I had to do it. Here it is. Piano Fantasy by William Joseph.
Things to remember:
I have only had it for a few days, so please excuse my multiple mistakes.
I know my pedal squeaks and my piano is slightly out of tune. Please don't let that distract you.
Also, I know it isn't centered. I set my camera on my couch for the filming.
I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.


And in case my piano teacher ever sees it: Sharon, I know my wrists are high when I'm doing the octaves. I didn't realize until watching it back. They are now bouncier. I love that I still hear your voice in my head. When I get it really learned, I'd love to play it for you.
