Most people that know me would say that I am very musical.  I can play the trumpet, trombone, flute, clarinet and guitar.  Though it has taken awhile to master these instruments, I just love music, and all that practice doesn’t seem like work to me.

So, when I had the opportunity to get a learn & master the piano course at a discount, I really couldn’t pass it up.  I have wanted to learn how to play the piano for so long, but I had been unable to find a suitable course or teacher to teach me how to play.

It turns out that when I told my aunt that I was going to learn how to play the piano, she offered her old piano to me as a gift.  Now, I have everything that I need to learn how to play - I just have to take the time to do it.

Merle Haggard.  Son of a railroad worker, Merle is known as one of the most influential country signers to emerge from the 1960s.  His combination of folk, blues, pop and jazz gave him a unique sound and also influenced many other country singers over the years.

Some of his most famous songs were “Okie from Muskogee” and “Someday We’ll Look Back”.  Because of his large body of work and success in the music industry, Haggard was inducted in the Country Music Hall of Fame in 1994.
