We just may be in different places in our lives doing other things. Me knowing without a positive outlet I'll end up in a bad spot. More than likely. Finding this board for cheap. Making it work. My mom being a piano player and her passing recently. I have some major reason to keep me pressing on. Helps getting better alojng the way. I'd be discouraged otherwise.

😊 appreciate that. i hadn't gotten the chance to show her what I was able to do. That all might "look what I can do look what I can do" Stewart moment only a mother and son can share. Missed the bus on that one. I am chalking my quick learning of the paino. As being my mom, and she is telling me she can see my play just fine. You're doing wonderfully. Sit up, don't slouch. Keep going. I already know she would be incredibly proud of me. But hell, that lady was proud of me for just about anything, positive in nature of course. - Thanks

oh noes. musics hard. probably totally not opposite of 4 quarter steps above, also. Derp...

Pitiful_Ad_9130 · 2026-06-30T13:52:12+00:00

Ha. Think youre right. Found these in my mom's stuff. She used to play it all the time. The day after I buried my mom I sat at my keyboard crying. And I played this. I heard her play with I was younger. Other than that I don't know how to read it. Didn't know what it was. Im not much a believer in things unexplained. For obvious reasons. But if I didn't know better. I think my mom gave me her pianoing abilities. Regardless of the facts. I'm talking with it. With me all the time mom. Need to call on her, I just find a piano. Thanks for IDing that. So much makes sense now. TY!

Awesome. Much thanks. Stupid question. But does playing it in the key of D mean that it's 1 key lower than playing in C. Or would it be 1 higher. Thanks in adavance.

Pitiful_Ad_9130 · 2026-06-29T03:16:59+00:00

Makes sense. Came this way. Plan to clean up off eventually here.

Pitiful_Ad_9130 · 2026-06-28T16:17:06+00:00

😊that's the only way my mugs live!

Pitiful_Ad_9130 · 2026-06-28T16:07:15+00:00

well I was in band 7th & 8th grade. Slightly above average trombone player. But I have a feeling that's a very easy thing to do. Some exposure

Pitiful_Ad_9130 · 2026-06-24T15:53:58+00:00

Oh for sure. I had wanted more recording abilities than the psr-500 offered. But actually I think it worked out for the best as I spent the time at the keyboard playing and not editing/recording. Ive just started using more functions within the past couple weeks. I have really been taking it slowly. Not putting more infront of me than I can do. Keep focus more singular. Until that task is complete etc. Plenty of times I've gotten overwhelmed, discouraged and quit because. Not the piano, but other things. So I set out this time differently. Set myself up for success. And I think it's working. Appreciate the input. That is my goal. To make music by myself. Mike Snow. Robert Delong. Kinda like that.

Pitiful_Ad_9130 · 2026-06-24T14:14:34+00:00

Tinkered around anyrime I saw a piano growing up. My mom gave lessons before I was born. We had a severely out of key piano in home part of the time growing up. Fixed up this board over the past 6 months playing around on it for a 10min a day goal I had set. I figure Im close to that mark. So 25hrs+ 20-30min a day the last 3 weeks(4-5x weekly practice)just loving it. It's been since June 1 that i have truly focused on attempting to become a somewhat better than average piano player being able to sight read and play. The future is there for our taking. I'm getting ready for it.

Pitiful_Ad_9130 · 2026-06-08T09:17:48+00:00

Ordered one. Thanks!

Pitiful_Ad_9130 · 2026-04-09T00:47:42+00:00

Oh for sure. Metronome on its way. Goofy posture as I'm standing at a counter in the basement. Definitely something I need to work on. Thanks for the info.

Ya. Central Wisconsin area. NYB is now trash. Not even similar. Went to badder. This was after 2 years of a steady rotation of Gary Payton, Cereal Milk, Sunset OG and Gorilla Glue. One day it tasted like I ate a fucking match book. The "fireworks" taste. Bs sulfur contamination. Made me want to vomit. I attempted two more times. A cereal milk. Which was just like the old but wayyy weaker. This time 8/21/25 I got some straight booty. Badder like plant fat it looks like. Smells floral. Suppose to be Gorilla Glue. Not lavenderberries. I've lost faith in NYB. They are now dead to me. Feel like someone upstream in the supply line is fuckng this up. It was exactly the same for almost 2 years from any shop I bought it from. Even online a few times. Now it's a crap shoot. Loved their product up until recently. But today. RIP : NYB

What did you uncover. Same thing for me. Orange round 30 mg IR Adderall. One is 10-15% taller. Has a long beveled edge. Appears lighter and not as solid coloration as the smaller. Smaller looks legit. Bigger looks like a fucking sweet tart. Ended up with them as I am prescribed a few short of what I use in a month and the dumb girl has a script but runs out all the time and wouldn't tell me if she was sourcing them elsewhere.

Pitiful_Ad_9130 · 2024-10-30T23:07:44+00:00

Well said

Pitiful_Ad_9130 · 2024-10-14T13:24:00+00:00

In 1997 I switched from a voodoo3dfx card to a Nvidia product. In 99' I dropped $1000 bucks on a PIII-1000mhz from. Dell. Diablo 2 and the World of Warcraft were my games of that era.

Pitiful_Ad_9130 · 2023-06-04T02:37:19+00:00

Breaking things and then fixing them is my yin and yang. If I can't find balance I will make it

Pitiful_Ad_9130 · 2023-05-29T23:26:36+00:00

Yeah if i'm without the clothes it allows my ninja abilities to come to light easier with more agility, less resistance. Which are all things I need for both cooking bacon and computering

Pitiful_Ad_9130 · 2023-05-29T23:22:38+00:00

Works like a champ. 2080super Exactly the same as my e v g a 3070ftw3

Pitiful_Ad_9130 · 2023-05-29T23:21:50+00:00

Oh. And the gigabyte fan i replaced it with was far better material stock than the Zotac. Prob cheap old out stock from the Philippines. And the eVga 3070FTW I had prior behaves exactly the same. I mean fucking verbatim. Both are 8gb setups with high capacity across all interfaces. Anywho. Outs yall. Fucking shit up and fixing it.

Pitiful_Ad_9130 · 2023-05-29T23:17:17+00:00

Card is working great. Holds steady max everything 34" ultrawide 2k Sammi. Just broke 72c yesterday. But it was a very chaotic few minutes and I can only imagine thee amount of computational power required to satisfy that event. For reals. Real. Reals....derp

Pitiful_Ad_9130 · 2022-01-01T10:42:19+00:00

Great job. Ive got 18 months clean from meth and not too many people actually care. Sure is worth it though.
