If you thought I was going to be consistent about this music on a day of the week thing, you were wrong. Dead wrong. But here’s a new tune for your Friday night, played poorly and in this instance, sung poorly. Even got the lyrics wrong. Dead wrong. It’s so bad but I was so excited to learn this song.
The impulse to share something new that you’ve learned is childlike and endures far beyond childhood, but the charm in watching someone share their mediocrity wears off when that someone hits double digits. When a kid wants to share a word they’ve just learned how to spell, it’s delightful. Wondrous even. I fully understand that you get very little value out of watching a grown woman play an instrument badly. But, there it is. A double standard. Maybe what I’m trying to say is, hold onto that wonder of learning something new. That beginner’s mind magic. Hold onto it for yourself and for anyone who wants to share it. No pressure.
