My First Piano

This old piano was the first I ever touched as a youngster. It's now in my aunts apartment, and I can remember that old book, the title is 'My First Piano Tunes'. I could not read music at that time, but I improvised a lot. I learned to read music when I was 17. I've played electric bass since I was 11, and that did not deed any scores back then - it was time of progressive rock and jazz, Jaco Pastorius and Pekka Pohjola taught me how to play (mainly by playing along LP's).

Exceptionally evocative. You can almost smell the blended aroma of the polished piano and the worn paper of the book.
