was young
was young. I was not that good at it and I did not practice as much as I should. We had a piano teacher by the name of Diana who was a very nice lady with a bouffant hairdo. However, because of religious reasons when I turned 10, or maybe younger, he would not let me take lessons from a female teacher. And I guess there were no male teachers that met his standards. Because my siblings started taking lessons at a much younger age, they ended ed up taking it for a much longer period of Time and as a result they were much more proficient at music than I was. My brother Natalie, was offered to play on the Ed Sullivan show. Four religious reasons, my father would not let him go on this show either.
