I can probably still play chopsticks if required. Beyond that, I've forgotten all the Christmas songs, Bach & Beethoven that I worked somewhat to learn back then.<br /><br />Enjoying the Doris Day song.

They're built for work like painting or moving boxes. I always was jealous of my friend's long, skinny piano fingers. Lucky bugger. Top things all off, I am part of the rhythmless nation.

I managed to find someone to teach me to play the recorder and the cornet, but I never got far with either.
