Something that's been a fun addition to my little office . . . .

When I got rid of my old upright piano back in September (to open up space in my guitarmaking workroom), I did it with the intention of eventually getting a digital piano of some sort. Well, I researched it on the web and ended up purchasing a Yamaha DGX650B, an 88-key portable grand piano. It arrived a few days ago, and it's WONDERFUL!!!  It really feels like a real piano (in a lot less space).  And it can do SO much --- it has tons of different voices, auto-accompaniments, and the capability to record songs to a USB thumb drive. 

Now, I'm not the greatest piano player (yet -- ha ha), but I just recorded my very first song (basically, just to experiment with the recording process) --- a little thing that I somehow had in my distant memory from ages ago, when I taught myself a little piano when my uncle lived with us and had his piano in the house. I had no music for it and just played it from memory. So, here it is, mistakes and all.
