I have a very strange melodic gift: melodies come to me effortlessly.
I would listen to something on the radio and try to tap out the melody, then the harmonies.
My father had left behind an old piano. My sister was already going to school, my mother was out working, and I stayed at home alone with my adorable grandmother who understood nothing I said. It was so boring that I stayed at the piano all day long, and that saved my life.
The more I live, the more I learn. The more I learn, the more I realize, the less I know.
