Before I started playing the guitar and the bamboo flute, I got a glimpse and first hand experience of music from the electric organ. We were supposed to buy a piano one day in 1991; but we were fascinated when the electric organ can belt out sounds of other instruments and even have accompanying music to intensify one's piece. So yeah, it was decided that we get the technologically-sound, all-in-one instrument.
I took lessons when I was in grade 3 and even had a recital. It was the best worst feeling ever. My fingers were numbed and at the same time tingling with nervousness... hoping Murphy's law wouldn't happen for the next 5 agonizing minutes of my life. Needless to say, it did happen and I never played the organ after that.

Lately, I felt like feeling the keys again. Ebony and ivory live together in perfect harmony, says a song; and yes, I miss playing with my keys. We had it fixed today and now I'm tapping away at the keys as if I just had my music lessons yesterday. :) I was very glad that I still remember my chords and the rhythm of some of the pieces I studied.
Right now, I'm starting to study some Christmas songs. It would be a nice change to play some tunes during the holidays instead of playing them in the ipod, right? :)
