Well.........Bill Lewis gave my piano lessons the "coup de grace." I might add thankfully!

Yes, piano lessons WERE the best thing I could have done...it really woke me up. But Bill mentioned something that kind of sobered me up. It was something like: "jazz piano with it's substitutions, altered chords, etc will not make you any more money or get you more jobs." I thought how right he was. I stopped my lessons. I was having fun playing around with the notes, but.....there's only so much time. It needs to be spent productively. Studying jazz piano is not productive unless you're looking to be a headliner!

But......fun while it lasted!
