Dresden Dolls and Playing Piano

So I am very excited about seeing the Dresden Dolls Sunday.

I have been listening to them a lot the past week and I have enjoyed all of it! :)

The great thing about it is that I am now finally getting my ear for music back and I am enjoying her playing style.

The other thing that I am doing is trying to picture in my head the keys and chords that she is playing on the piano. Then, when I am home, I turn on my keyboard and start trying to play some of the songs.

I have just been playing "Missed Me" and I am excited to say I don't sound half bad. Still trying to get my fingers to do the things I want them to do, but I now know where they are supposed to be, it's just getting them to do exactly as I want is still in need of practice.

I have all the chords that she does in the song and I can make the keyboard sound like the song. Still not so good on the timing yet but, hey, it is still only been a week since I picked the keyboard back up.

Anyway, as I am typing this I am trying not to play the letters in a chord! :)

I can't wait to see them and watch her play and imagine myself playing at the same time while enjoying the show.

And I also can't wait to keep practicing and getting better with every session, cept the whole hand cramping I am trying to get over from slamming the keys. :)

Ah well, so I am a little rambly right now but I am excited about my playing and the upcoming show. :)
