And it's time for awesome things now! (piano + voicepost meme!)

First off:

Since Oscar Peterson's death just before Christmas, I've been working up the nerve to get myself back into jazz piano - I've got my RCM finished, thirteen years of classical piano training under my belt, and enough jazz listening growing up to have at least some level of instinct for the genre.

So this is my latest project: Oscar Peterson's Hymn to Freedom.

(Not me playing, hee!)

You may recognize it from a House episode - he played a bit it at some point. It's extremely straightforward up to about 1:50, at which point things get a little nuts. It's awesome.

Anyway, yes. This is gonna be a long, long-term project, but it'll be fun. Whee!

Second thing:

It's time for a meme! A Voicepost Interview Meme! Simple enough - ask me something (anything), and I'll answer it in an upcoming voice post. Got something you've always wanted to hear me say/do? That's good, too!

(I reserve the right to come up with clever ways to get out of doing stuff I don't wanna do. Apart from that, anything goes!)

Edit: Now, why do you suppose people would be setting off fireworks tonight? That's interesting. Almost as interesting as the car parked sideways across our back alley. Hm.

Also Edit: Oh. Said car is stuck. And it's the same one that got stuck there last night. People, there are cleared-out parking stalls not too far off! Go for them!
