Piano Time

It has been a while since I have sat down at the piano with my simplified accompaniments for the hymns book and played.  Tonight I was walking into the living room and decided to have a seat.  I do enjoy playing the hymns of the church.  I don't play all of them, just a selection that I have practiced.  I am certainly rusty but enjoyed working through them.  I have some of my favorites like Redeemer of Israel, Now Let us Rejoice, We Thank Thee O God for a Prophet, We Ever Pray for Thee, Praise to the Man, A Poor Wayfaring Man of Grief, Secret Prayer, How Firm a Foundation, All Creatures of Our God and King and several others.  I read the notes for the bottom hand and play the top hand by ear.  Somehow it works.  When I'm a little rusty I miss the top hand a bit.  Hard to explain, it is a feel thing.  I enjoy my piano time and don't spend enough time enjoying it.  I may need to make a few adjustments and make that happen more often.  Andy did tell me that he likes my music.  Nice of him not to notice how badly I butcher things.
