Emerson vs Jack
When I was a kid I wanted to play piano. I always thought that was such a cool instrument. So many kids want to be cool and learn guitar but me, I was always drawn to the piano. There was a neighbor of ours back when I was growing up. She taught piano. When I would wander over there she would give me a glass of tea and she would give me lessons for free. I just wanted to go bonkers and start hitting all the keys to see what noises it would make. I was 5 or 6 years old so curiosity ruled my world.
And after a few months I could actually semi play Mary Had a little lamb. I couldn't wait to go see her. My parents didn't own a piano and we would never be able to afford one, not ever. But I still wanted to play. My father didn't care one way or another but my mother didn't want to put up my hopes, she didn't want me to spend my time over there instead wanted me to concentrate on my school work. I don't know why, I wasn't the brightest bulb in the lot, not even close.
I had no natural talent when it came to the piano but Susan my neighbor/piano, she was smitten with the idea of a boy who didn't have any right to be near a piano wanting to learn. Mary got a little lamb got better and better. One day though I went over and she wasn't there, I asked my mother if Susan was mad at me, I didn't know what I had done. My mother just shrugged and didn't tell me a thing. I thought my mother had told her to ignore me and I started to get angry. But after a few weeks I saw Susan’s oldest daughter outside her home and I ran over, I had met her a few times. Her name was Margie. Margie said Susan had a heart attack and had passed away. I was devastated. My mother was trying to shield me from being hurt.
I never played piano again. And every time I see one, I think of Susan and I think of the life that might have been with a little more talent and access to a piano. But que sera sera. Whatever will be, will be.
There are so many roads in life I didn't take. And I would of loved to have explored them all but its just not meant to be. This here right here right now is my life.
Jack you have always been a stand up guy. At least to me you have. You aren't egotistical, you aren't mean, you are a genuinely good guy, the same you and others say about me. But I've taken the road of the IC champion before, so whether I take that road again or not it wont change me one bit.
That is all I have to fade.
Fade to black.
