Today my mom gave me a book for the piano which I thought was absolutely brilliant. It was for a bunch of the Beatles' singles and gave the simple piano, advanced piano, and guitar cords. It also came with a cd which played the song with each of those and then the proper single, so that for people like myself, who play by ear, can learn to play the songs easier.

Well, since I'm not allowed to play the piano after 9pm my mother and I started playing the instrumental cd and trying to sing a long which was hilarious, but never quite as it was supposed to be. The only song we managed perfectly was 'The Fool on the Hill' because it required only 3 different tones and had repetitive lyrics.

After we decided to look for some of my Beatles tapes, because I bought a bunch on sale years and years ago. While I was rumaging around in shoe boxes under my bed I came across a bunch of unlabelled tapes. I went through them and they were tapes I made of the radio before I moved to London, so that I could remember...

I can't tell whether I want to laugh or cry.
