CRAIG 2/14: Hi everyone, How’s the Gillock? Are you all playing these?
I have been. They are so easy. And dramatic. (Kind of like a sentence without a verb.) I love them — they are so fulfilling.
Now it’s “Procession of the Mandarin.” We’re going once again on a voyage to an exotic locale with Gillock — a holiday in Paris, Mission Bells in California, a horseback ride in the Old West, and the classical romantic period in Vienna. Now we’re in China!
No wonder he’s so popular — the songs are great…but he also captures the wanderlust that he, as a kid growing up in LaRussell, MO, must have felt. He’s the Rick Steves of your weekly piano lesson.
GRACE 2/15: I’m not keeping up with much besides Kaya these days.
NADIA 2/15: I’ve been playing 2-3 pieces everyday because I can’t have the keyboard set up all the time, but I really enjoy playing through! I think my favorite so far was Autumn Sketch.
Also, I hope you’re doing well Grace!
