This afternoon I
have another gig at an area home for
seasoned citizenry. I recently
signed up for a Pittsburgh program
that does this, and played my first
program last month.
You may have noticed I don't line my
website with testimonies or a
biography. You know, the kind of
biographies that usually begin "so
and so is one of the leading voices
of his/her generation" and include
adjectives like "in demand" and
"active" or, if the pianist in
question is writing for more general
audiences (you did know we generally
write our own bios right? Well, the
secret's out now), phrases like "has
dazzled audiences around the world
from an early age." Or testimonies
from excited customers who bought
the product and it transformed their
lives.
But here are a couple of things I
wanted to share from my program two
weeks ago.
They're
coming.
Actually, they're already here.
The little devils.
If I was a little winged creature, I would probably want to settle under the eaves too. The north end of our sanctuary is practically built like a bird high-rise. All those lovely apartments just waiting for the enterprising sparrow to make a nest. I wouldn't be surprised if some bird already owned the place and was charging tenants to live there. One bedroom apartments with lovely view. Close to everything. Lots of cars in easy pooping distance every Sunday, Unfurnished--you have to build your own nest.
The problem with all this is they can be loud neighbors.
