Details:
My earliest memory is of tearing at the rotted brown cloth of the back
of an upright piano and playing in the dust while my father played
the honky tonk train blues, accompanied by his thick heavy nails
clattering the ivory keys. Being the third oldest of seven, space
in our small house was hard to find, so I’d spend many hours
behind the upright piano whilst my dad’s band rehearsed.
The upright piano vibrated through the floor and my whole body.
Sometimes the upright piano was joined by double bass, saxophone
and a red guitar with f shaped sound holes which we were not allowed
to touch, well, we not allowed to touch when the adults were around.
As I grew older and big enough to sit in a chair unsupported, I would
watch the hands of the guitarist playing chords and complicated solo
runs up and down the fret board, this was enough for me,
I didn’t need to know the names of those chords as I could tell by
listening whether they were the right ones .
I am asked today by musicians I play with, how did you learn that
tune, I don’t know how I know it, but I suppose it may have engrained
its self in me from behind the upright piano.
