A REAL Keyboard

Tonight, the man of the house and I were at our respective desks, each doing our own thing, when I heard something that sounded like Simon had found a piano and was trying to learn how to play it.  I knew immediately what the noise really was:  my previous blog post had been discovered!  I cringed, rather embarrassed that my little secret had been found out.  Next thing I know, here he comes with an electronic keyboard he'd bought many years ago, that had been stashed in the closet.  I vaguely remember him mentioning he had one, but really didn't think too much about it until I saw him with it tonight.  He even found the A/C adapter, which was not with the keyboard.

He set me up in the kitchen temporarily, just to see if it would still play.  He showed me several things that it would do, and then left me to it.  I hit it a few licks, but it's been so long since I played that I'm really self-conscious about making noise with humans around (animals don't count)..  I told him I'd fool around with it when I'm alone.  Now all these little ditties I hear in my head can actually come to life! I can't really write music,well, not the way it's supposed to be, but maybe good enough for me to keep a record of what I've done.  This keyboard has a record function on it, but I want something on paper that I know won't disappear.

Now if I just had a manual for it...it's the most complicated keyboard I've ever used, having grown up on pianos and an antique pump organ.  No matter, I'll figure out what I need to.

Next time, I'm wishing for something BIG, like, say...a PT Cruiser?  *hint hint*
