That's fine. A couple years down the road when my airplane still looks like I just took it out of the box I'll get the last laugh.

Yeah, the sad part is that my glove was right there sitting on my toolbox.

Soon, I have to accompany a singer that is going to be singing Schubert's "Der Erlkonig." If you don't know, that piece has arguably THE most difficult octave passages ever written for piano. Playing it is actually an exercise in masochism. It was very difficult back in the day and piano actions have become MUCH heavier since. It's far worse than a pronated grip chinup routine!! [X(]

Anyway, I think I'll be healed enough by then........hopefully. [link=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P5B6nysheec&feature=related]Der Erlkonig[/link]
I want a recording!
