Pensa che, se trovo l'insegnante giusta/o mi rimetto a studiare pianoforte, solo che non riesco mai a decidermi se solo classico o solo jazz(blues forse)....forse entrambi!? La mia è una passione immensa per la musica....ma portare avanti gli studi non sono mai stato in grado di farlo....mi si ingolfa il cervello...quel poco che ne rimane ovviamente!!:-) Bando alle ciance: sei davvero invidiabile.... meno male che sono fissato col piano, altrimenti non ti avrei mai dato pace!!!!:-))))
Tanta tanta tanta soddisfazione e realizzazione di ogni progetto che intraprenderai!!! baci Luciano
