Well, we just finished up the performance at the embassy, and it went pretty well. First of all, they had a Steinway baby grand. Oh man it was so nice, especially compared to the electric pianos at the church. They're fine and all, but the action and responsiveness of a real piano just can't be beat, even if it's a little out of tune like that one was. So the concert itself was good. I definitely learned more pieces in such a short period of time than I ever have. Elder Christensen and I's I Saw Three Ships went much better than expected, so that was a plus. One thing that was really cool was that I was asked to do so many pieces for many different events that I lost track of them all and in the confusion didn't even get to look at one of them until I was reminded of it at the dress rehearsal last night. Well, luckily, one of my previous companions who also plays piano had been working on that exact piece for about a month now, so he was able to play for that one. Inspiration. It was a great time though going to the Embassy and being able to play that great piano.
Have a great week!
