My mom wanted me to play piano, too, but I couldn't stick with it. That's AMAZING about your sister!!!<BR/><BR/>My son didn't want to be in "organized" music, either. It's a shame - they miss out on a lot of bonding, I think, in addition to the competition and the skill.<BR/><BR/>And I'm with you on walking into SAKS! I think I did buy one thing there...once. EEK on $3000!MJFredrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06881706931355203700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13241994.post-45634733769347044122008-04-21T17:39:00.000-05:002008-04-21T17:39:00.000-05:00Congrats to your son, Mary!

I played the clarinet in the band, from 7th grade until I graduated high school. And I've played the piano since I was 9 years old.<BR/><BR/>My mom would have liked all 4 of us girls (my sisters and I) to play the piano, but only I did it while she was alive. My younger sister always wanted to learn. I taught her what I could through the years, but about 10 years ago, she paid for her own piano lessons and one of the last performances was at Carnegie Hall in New York City!<BR/><BR/>Lupe<BR/><BR/>P.S. I tried to get my sons to join the band, or learn an instrument, but they didn't want to. Though my older son likes rap and writes his own lyrics and records them.<BR/><BR/>P.P.S. Talk about low self-esteem, Mary! I felt really dingy and unwanted one time I went into SAKS at North Star Mall. I knew I wouldn't find anything in there I could afford, but since I was looking for a Christmas party dress, I thought I'd just take a look. The first dress I saw which I didn't even like cost $3,000!! I skedaddled out of there really quick.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13241994.post-15469821116049814132008-04-16T15:51:00.000-05:002008-04-16T15:51:00.000-05:00YAY on State Mary!
