Shoo fly pie, and apple pan dowdy...

It is funny what a song can do to a person. Yesterday I went down to the piano room at the college. I haven't played much in the last 6 months so I spent a good amount of time there. I worked on wedding music for Ryan and Maria, and then I wanted to see how much my piano playing abilities had faded...so I tried playing something from pretty much every genre. My classical is still pretty good...broadway, mediocre...but I've always had a hardish time with that, and swing, well, my hands don't like moving in sink anymore and they hurt like heck after trying to play "In the Mood" but it was fun anyway. :-) I forgot how different each style is to play. It's kinda fun. :-) Oh, and Laura, I still need to get that book! I forgot it AGAIN when I was over the other night, and I MUST learn the Tocatta and Fugue before Erin does. :-D
Anyway, so, I wrapped up my little piano session playing some swing. One piece that I used to always play was "Shoo Fly Pie" but Kristy is the one that owns the music so I haven't played it in foreverbecause I no longer have the music. So as I was headin' home, this song is running through my head...it's a fun song. I've always liked it. So now what? I'm gonna make shoo fly pie! I haven't had it in 15 years and it's SO YUMMY! The last time I had it I was in Amish Country with Katy and Celka. I went to Katy's last night, and so we of course talked about the trip a little bit, even though it was so long ago. It was fun. So yeah, there was a connection here...what was it again??? I don't know what it was going to be exactly, and as I almost never proof these posts, I guess I'm not going to bother finding out. But the long and short of it is, as a result of playing the piano last night, today I'm going to make the best shoo fly pie this side of the....Blue Ridge Mountains. :-D
