Was it fun, and exhausting? <br /><br />I once had an middle-aged adult piano student who sat down at my keyboard and started to shake, the lingering effect of piano lessons at the age of 5 with a person (who I will not call a 'teacher') who rapped her hand with a ruler every time she hit a wrong note. <br /><br />Despite all the reassurance and encouragement I could offer her, it was all too much for her nerves and she had to quit. Maybe her old bag of a tormentor and your Mme. Collette were put to work digging celestial ditches in retribution.<br /><br />PS Glad I know about this event now - maybe I'll make it there one day.Deborahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10892637441668897411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1240778511347611810.post-85309920814496970982010-09-11T10:48:31.172-07:002010-09-11T10:48:31.172-07:00Some people just have that effect!

There was a young man from England there, immaculately dressed in suit, tie, navy overcoat (the rest of us were patchouli and tobacco-scented raggle-taggle gypsies and hippie backpackers). He had a sturdy grown-up suitcase and was on his first trip abroad, hitching to the South of France. The girls he worked with had raised some cash to help him get there and he was under orders to return to the office the following week with bags of sand from the beach at St Tropez! So exotic!Lesleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07175734326888791038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1240778511347611810.post-27063091619857281002010-09-02T14:49:13.302-07:002010-09-02T14:49:13.302-07:00Wow! have a wonderful time!!!
