30 Days of Music: Day 26

Day 26 - A song that you can play on an instrument:

I used to be able to play the beginning of 'Shout' from Tears for Fears on the piano back in the day (as in Elementary school).  My Nana could pay but she could never really teach me.  No matter how hard I've tried I can't read music...even after years in choir (in Jr. High).


We had an organ & it had all this sheet music on it, like 'Memories' for the musical CATS (see I come by my love of Broadway honestly) and songs from decades past that I can no longer remember the names of. 

Guess I come by my love of music in general honestly as well.  We'd watch Laurence Welk together and I always remember Pop busting out in song for no reason, though song may be a strong word, usually it was little ditties from back in HIS day.  Right now all I can remember is...

"K-K-K-Katy, beautiful Katy,
You're the only g-g-g-girl that I adore;
When the m-m-m-moon shines,
Over the cowshed,
I'll be waiting at the k-k-k-kitchen door.
K-K-K-Katy, beautiful Katy,
You're the only g-g-g-girl that I adore;
When the m-m-m-moon shines,
Over the cowshed,
I'll be waiting at the k-k-k-kitchen door."


After looking up that up, it is actually a song but Pop apparently never knew the versus or he just chose to only sing the chorus.
