It’s Day Two of “All I Want”!
Whether it be for Christmas, or for whatever you do or don’t celebrate, what I’d like to know today is, if you could be blessed with the natural-born talent to do anything, what would it be?
I’ve always wished I could play the guitar, but not JUST play – anyone can learn. I’d love to be able to play with the passion of Brian May of Queen, David Gilmour of Pink Floyd, Eddie Van Halen; the list goes on and on. Talent beyond compare. Even to play the piano like Schroeder, in the Peanuts cartoon, would be amazing!
Now it’s your turn. If you could do anything really really well – so well that people would swoon – what would it be?
Blog post of December 17th, in honour of Every Damn Day December. Check it out!

I would like to play piano like Richard Clayderman. I love the way he play “Ballade pour Adeline” . It’s not only a wish because I start to learn to play piano and I am determined to make this wish a reality.

I first remembered when I took flute in 6th grade then crapped out to the frustration of my music teacher but what I really wanted was to take drums but there was no such thing as that then. “Buy a practice pad and drumsticks, kid, and come back much later” was about the extent of it. I do love dance, I wish I could draw, and as I think back over time to now I could add to the list so, I’d like to play flute like Ian Anderson, drum like Dizzy Gillespie and the beat goes on passed dancing better than Bob Fosse could choreograph and Michael Jackson, right up to writing that best seller whether it be novella or whatever.
