Nola

I sure do love playing the piano! Listening as my hands move over the keyboard I am always amazed that I can make such beautiful music. On occasion, of course, I accidentally hear a real pianist and am jerked unceremoniously back to reality. Still, I do have my aspirations. My new goal is to be either the best untalented pianist in Sugar Land, or the worst with even a modicum of talent. Either one would be, for me, a miraculous achievment!

Nola was written in 1915 by Felix Arndt for his fiancee. It could be the happiest piano tune ever written! Mister Arndt died at age 29, in 1918 during the flu epidemic.

Here's Richard Dowling playing 'Nola'.
