My Keyboard Stand

I was given money for Christmas and I wanted to spend it on something useful. I have a keyboard that I have not practiced in a long, long time because I have not had a good place to put it nor a decent stand to put it on. Two bar stools are not very sturdy for a keyboard. So it has been moved from place to place, standing on it's end most often in a corner somewhere. So with the money I got for Christmas, I bought a sturdy keyboard stand. Now I am excited because I can sit down and practice whenever I want too. I have a goal. I want to learn to play at least four church hymns well, so that if our church pianist has to be gone for some reason, I can step in with my four songs and the congregation can have piano accompaniment.
I sat down and started working on one hymn. The keyboard has a record feature. Well, I thought I was doing pretty good with this hymn, so I recorded myself playing it. When I played it back and tried to sing through the words with it, it was so painful!!!! It's a good thing I am using headphones when I practice. My poor family would go crazy if they had to listen to me struggle through that music! Goodness! I have such a long ways to go!
