Blog Entry: I had an amazing day today, did a bit of practice on the piano and actually played a tune silent night, it wasn’t very good but Diane recognized what I was trying to play that is a vast improvement for me, deep down inside I had negative thoughts about ever playing again, the roling chords on my left hand even worked, again not good but bearable I don’t yet have full control of my left hand no physical problem with my right hand , the problem there’re is sending info from my brain to the hand, , because of the tone deafness problem, I can’t carry a tune in my head, so there’s not really anything there to transfer to my hands, prior to the stroke, I was a natural player, , hear any tune then play a piano solo, I could read music but never played while reading it, most of my life I was close to blind in my right eye couldn’t read the music fast enough to play, it wasn’t a problem though, I have a very good memory,(had-lol, I would sit down reading the music and memorize it then sit at the piano and play it from the music that by that time was in my brain and my heart, it was my heart I played from, I’ve always loved music and can get quite emotional listening to or playing it’s the same with most of my poetry, scribble it on a pad then on my puter type it up and save it- I don’t write my own compositions, I start playing other music,light classics or plain easy listening,, then drift off composing my owd music recording what I play,It seems my poetry and music is quite popular from the request for a c-d or one of my books, I’ve had 3 books published so far with enough saved to publish a couple more at some time, since the stroke I have only managed one poem a brain poem for all the staff working in the rehab ward who looked after my for 3 months, it wasn’t a great poem most of it came from my brain not my heart, my wonderful wife for the help and love fromDianeshe is very supportive far beyond the call of( “duty”-------------I can’t thank her enough for all her help and love she is my heart, soul mate and best friend, I must be the luckiest man ever on this earth-------------------
