And it's amazing how something can really
Change your trajectory, your experience, especially when you're very young.
Yes.
I I was originally going to be a music major, and I was in college, and then I changed my major.
But I remember when I was in high school, I auditioned for uh music camp and it was for piano and there was this um
Very accomplished musician.
She was a professor.
Anyway, I had to audition with a piece that I had prepared, and then I had to do sight reading.
Well, I played a classical piece.
She knew that I was classically trained.
She threw in front of me a jazz piece with a very strange time signature I had not encountered.
And you have a few moments to figure it out and then you play.
Well, she was very perturbed because I wasn't doing it right.
Well, I had not encountered that before.
She gets up on stage, she's got a ruler in her hand, and she starts clapping and clapping, and then she takes the ruler and starts whacking the Steinway I'm playing.
I'm looking at her going, Oh my goodness, is she gonna whack me?
Yeah.
But you know, that's stuck in my head.
And I remember my um piano teacher was there and uh watching this and she said, that was horrible.
Yeah.
