    Ever since Christmas day passed, I've been playing several calmer rags and pieces. I think this one is elegant like the beautiful lamp it is named for, while also being both soothing and exciting. I hope you enjoy it.

    Hey, buddy! Welcome back home. This is a great post-Christmas song. It has a nice, festive mood to it. Your playing of it sounds excellent, too. Aside from the music, I have always liked Tiffany-style glasswork. I have a small collections of Tiffany lamps at home, and some Tiffany fixtures, too. I always keep a watch for others that I might want. There is no way I could afford an authentic Louis Comfort Tiffany artwork, but there are some really nice Tiffany-style pieces that are affordable to me. If you are ever in the San Jose, California, area, you might enjoy a visit to the Sarah Winchester House. It is almost like going into a "fun house" with all its quirks and oddities. Unless it has changed since I was there, it has a room that is filled with Tiffany windows that were never installed. It's like an art gallery within the house. There are also quite a few Tiffany windows installed throughout the house. I think they are all authentic L. C. Tiffany pieces, too, since Sarah Winchester was insanely wealthy and was able to afford them.

      It is a conundrum isn't it. As a youngster, my grandmother first started teaching me after I tried to pick out Barcarolle on her old upright Witton & Witton piano. It was after hearing a local dramatic society group choir practicing in her loungeroom. The loungeroom and especially the piano were not to be lightly trespassed but I had gone in, sneakily opened the lid of the piano after pinching a couple of water crackers out of the biscuit tin she kept in there. I managed without either pinning a finger or banging the lid.
      From then on, I had total licence to be in there. Her words once heard when she played the piano around me as I sat close on a cushion still echo. "Don't get me wrong, I love them all (seven grandchildren) but this one is mine." I must have been four at the time as we did not move to our house until I was about five. I had poor eyesight which fortunately improved later in life. Memory for sound has waned over time and age, probably in having to compete with the distraction of improving eyesight. Affordable music teachers were scarce in the semi-rural area we lived at.
      My grandmother played by ear. She could read music albeit slowly but well enough to learn pieces as written. My first music teacher was strong on me learning music theory and sight reading. I was one step ahead and played anything at first so the music teacher would correct me and unwittingly teach me the piece by ear. Eventually though the joy went out of it as my teacher caught on. I would shut down before the sessions ended when it got a bit intense.
      There was a piece that I had once heard and there was a wrong note on the manuscript which had I think been hand-copied. The final straw was my telling my music teacher it was wrong and my music teacher would have none of it. For some reason I do not really know, even at first year of school age, I did not give way.
      I remember my grandmother saying something about "ruining that boy and breaking his spirit." That was my last formal piano lesson. Later at high school age I had some formal lessons when learning accordion. My music teacher then was onto my trickery but took the view that I would be far better off by being set free rather than having my independent spirit stifled. Before he saw me off, he set me a task of a modern piece which was highly complex arrangement of a popular modern song. It was beyond what I thought was my skill level but insisted I master it just to prove to myself that I could which I did.
      In later life, instant eidetic memory had diminished and I actually had to put some work into it. Apparently once you hit fourteen it is all downhill from there when it comes to soaking stuff in but ability to work with and build upon what you take in improves dramatically. I came to regret I did not thrash myself into learning to sight read fluently. There is a great wealth of musical arrangement out there. The chord colours and arrangements are not always easy to "get" when harvesting arrangements by ear.
      I found that forcing past the hard bits or cherrypicking took a little of the enjoyment out of it, more and more as I grew older. One eventually becomes bored with one's own re-arrangements of pieces picked up by ear. Slowly stumbling through a written arrangement helps. The modern tutorials on youtube have been a blessing for me but being able to read and assimilate written scores would be even better.
      This young man appears to be a collector of musical experiences. The secret sauce of any music teacher will be in finding the balance between formal instruction and a freely enriching experience to show that collection of arrangements by written manuscript can be as rewarding and joyful as harvesting them aurally.

    The piano sounds smoother I think. I'm not an expert, but I do know Jeremy worked on it for you. Is it in my imagination or does it actually sound better to you? You are there in the room with it and I am not. I hope you got some cool stuff for Christmas. I got a few gift certificates for Amazon, I think I will enjoy spending them lol. All the best to you my friend - in case you didn't know it, from your little room you bring lots of joy to people all over the place. It makes you very important and I hope that makes you feel good :)
    Thumbs up 👍👍👍👍👍

      You are right that the piano sounds much much better because Jeremy worked on it.
      It feels much nicer to play and it is easier to play softly

    Very nice. Another slower-type rag that is very beautiful is Nightingale Rag by Joseph Lamb (1915). I think you'd be great at it.

      I put them back on the piano after I played the song but I took them down because it was not a Christmas song
