the great dane & the great proboscis

it's been wks & i still really have no singing voice. have been babying it, hoping it comes back. dratted vocal chords!!! dratted insane snarling growling singing style!!! if i were a crooner, i'd be back at it by now!!
oh well.
yes, have been home a lot, so've been playing lots of piano. lots of classical, actually, trying to rebuild dexterity, also just for enjoyment, variety. forgot til these past wks about the many composers i really love! most recently: mussorgsky, faure, kabelevsky, brahms, tchaikovsky, the bach inventions, of course... then there are the czerny books; oh, how i loved czerny exercises when i was a kid! i think the repetition calmed my ocd tendencies, mebbe.
here are some videos i love, both sort of piano-related, from the great dane & the great proboscis (the latter is the only thespian i can think of who acts w/his nose).

OOPS! My bad! LOL

Here's a piano piece you may want to give a whirl while spending some "quality time" in the houselet...the piano accompiniment to Franck's violin sonata in A major. I remember friends refering to it as "the pianist's nightmare"! LOL When my buddy Nick was doing it for a uni recital, it took him 6 weeks to find someone to accompany him! LOL The guy who finally did claimed he played an "interpretation" of it rather than the written piece. LOL
