Summer memories | Joe Hisaishi - Day of the River (from the movie Spirited Away)
Time is a rare commodity these days. Sorry for the slow progress and uploads. Many thanks to the subscribers who are sticking around!
I've always known this song as One Summer's Day, but the title in the sheet music is as written here (Ano Hi no Kawa in Japanese). As far as I know, this one has several titles depending on the arrangement from the movie/album.
Arranged by: Takahiro Sato

0:00 Royal Ramble 2:18 First Look Sorry I know I show zero energy on these talking head videos. I'm recording at night, staying quiet to keep the kids from waking up and my wife from hearing me because embarrassment. 😂 And my personality is made for silence. Believe it or not I'm sorta trying hard. This is my first read of Hamelin's Etude No. 1. This will be a long journey but if I can play it ...

    I can’t deny, my kids got me hooked on Bluey. Perhaps it was a little forced combining these together, but still kinda nice don't you think? This arrangement of Bluey’s theme was inspired by the ending of "The Sign" episode. Reminded me of Beethoven's Sonata No. 28 with that same calm feeling.

      @leeclw Did you post on Piano World last week? If so I just responded there! 🙂 I’m sorry I missed your post until today. The LX form factor is going to be more immersive I think. I tried the LX-708 last year and that was the case. While I haven’t tried the LX-9, I’m sure it improves on that. I personally liked the GP sound more when not sitting at the piano though. Hybrid grand action seemed too perfect, too easy to play to me. In reality most pianos are much clunkier so I think a little more imperfection is not a bad thing.

    The minor stumble precipitating a full on inner-rage quit. I completely understand. I played piano for 8 years, but it's been probably 20 years since I've practiced. However, when I sit down at a bench I expect the muscle memory and coordination to be there immediately. I was the exact same way after just 1 year of not playing every day. An easy fix but so disheartening.
