Well, I'm off to church in a few minutes, and for the first time in about a year and a half, will be playing piano in public. I'm doing all the hymns and special music, subbing for our usual organist who's out today. I have no idea how to play a pipe organ!
So I'll be using a plain 'ole Steinway B grand piano (actually it's a beautiful instrument, and my favorite model of the Steinway line), which we don't use often enough in my church anyway, IMHO. 
Wish me luck! It's not a huge deal, but I'm nervous anyway.
But more importantly, preparing for this has convinced me that I need/want to start taking (classical) lessons again. I miss the music, and I want my daughters to grow up having it in the house on a regular basis. Plus I'm also going to start my older daughter (almost 8) on lessons at the same time. Fortunately I have a very good teacher and friend, who I took with for many years up until my second daughter was born. I just hope I can find time between work and video games and bourbon drinking and yoga to get a little daily practice in! :eusa-whistle:
