ONE MORE AFTER THIS AND I'M CAUGHT UP!
Memory #135
Not sure if I have already talked about this already but I'm going to take a shot in the dark and say that I haven't. My mom learned how to play the piano growing up and adored playing the piano. In fact the piano in our house was a gift to my mom from my dad because that's how much she loved it. I wish I had gotten more into piano because apparently I have the fingers of a good pianist..sigh lost dreams. Anyways growing up there was a point in time when my mom attempted to give me piano lessons. Which is the only reason I can play Mary Had A Little Lamb plus some really super random nameless songs that my mom helped me learn to play. For like a month I remember coming home from school and excitedly running into my mom's office so that she would teach me how to play 'the bear song' or the 'little pony song'. Which I can still play to this day...thank you very much.
These lessons, like everything else in the Langford household, fizzled out really quickly and were forgotten. Until my junior year of high school where my mom taught me one of those two person type of songs, that I have no idea what they're called but they're super fun. My mom taught me the easier lower part and she played the complicated high part. I remember my mom being so patient as my fumbling fingers tried to understand how they were supposed to move in time and getting pumped when I finally accomplished the medley. I loved playing that little tune with her and she probably got annoyed with how much I asked her to play it with me but she would always cave with a smile and sit on the bench with me. It makes me super nostalgic when I play that tune but its always the first thing I turn to when I sit in front of a piano bench. So if anyone knows the high part of the diddy I'm talking too, hit me up my mom says I'm solid at the lower part...hah!
Love always,
Erin
