My parents obviously--
but! When I was very young, my parents owned a restaurant, there was a musician that worked for the 'Wurlitzer' company, he was a traveling 'clinician' he gave live demonstrations on the Wurlitzer organs, he really liked my parents and our restaurant and he would come there and play for free! I was so blown away by this guy, I wanted to learn to play too! dad bought me a Wurlitzer, I practiced day and night, I wanted to be like that guy.. after a few years, I became him, I was now a clinician doing what he did, I first traveled with him then myself. After a few more years, he brought me to California from Ohio my home state, I have been here playing professionally ever since, that move to CA was in 1984.. he had log since passed away but he was my inspiration.. I will never forget him.. I don't do much organ anymore except for jazz B3 (musicians know what I mean) I am mostly piano now.. And electronics of course..

My grandmother taught me about the magic of stories, to hear the train in the distance, too see the sheer curtains blow in the breeze, to pick a bouquet of Lilacs and give them to a neighbor, to sit in the Apricot tree and eat the fruit, to eat my vegetables warm from the garden. She didn't insist that I roller skate with the kids right outside my window. She baked delicious oatmeal cookies as big as my face. She sang and sang. (She had a funny voice but I loved it) She gave me a set of chocolate doll furniture and said I could eat the furniture or play with it.
Right before she died, she looked at me and said, "You have such beautiful hair, Itsmee." (She knew that I had always hated my hair and she wanted to please me.)
What she taught me I took to my job as a preschool teacher. I learned much more from her than from my teaching classes
