…and the SPAM tries to take over.<\/p>\n

Consider it bombed.
\n\"SWATBad word to use these days and I suspect it triggered all sorts of alarms in the various NSA and CIA computers monitoring the Internet.<\/p>\n

The word “exercises” seems to be in there but YouTube is not the answer.<\/p>\n

Someone recommend a piano teacher in central Oahu to get me started.<\/p>\n

\"goofy-piano-player\"I’m not looking for a lifelong commitment.
\nJust someone to get me started and check back with occasionally.<\/p>\n

I’ll continue from there on my own.<\/p>\n

Age is not important.
\nSense of humor is.<\/p>\n

I have the need to make it as difficult as possible and that should do it.<\/p>\n
