Do you ever break out into song, or feel that music
is inside of you just waiting for audible
expression? Well if so, I've found a place that you
will probably like. I certainly like it, so join me
there! It's called
Piano & Song, and was created
by our local pianist Steve Lawless and a friend
Jeanine Just. The idea is to gather around a piano
and... well... sing. Only, this singing defies an
exact description. It's not karaoke. The pieces are
predominantly Broadway, folk, love songs, and
standards. An above average ability to sing on key
is required, along with some scattered recall of
lyrics. But there the easy part of the description
ends. Something slightly magical happens, and
voices turn into joy, yours among them. Whatever
it is that takes place, I go home happier than when
I arrived. The music in me feels that it belongs
there. It still is not bursting out audibly at
unguarded moments, but it's closer!
