THAT CAN PLAY MUSIC
Earlier this March 2017, as I am having a break playing piano at Waves Restaurant of Palau Royal Resort, an American guy asks me if he can play the piano. I let him play and he's good with music not familiar to me.
After one song, the other guy played. He is watching me play 3 nights ago. He plays classical music! Although he forgot some notes of the "Moonlight Sonata", he's really good. Later they asked to play my favorite song. As usual, I will say, I don't have favorite songs. My guests' favorite songs are my favorite songs. I play music to satisfy my guests and not myself. They like that quote.
Jake is talented in composing music while Tyler is the classical pianist. I played "Moon River" and Jake sang with me. We sing 3 more -"We Are The Champions" by Queen, "Edelweiss" from the movie Sound of Music and "Hero" by Enrique Iglesias. I noticed the variations of the music they like. Then Tyler asked if it's allowed to give tip and he gave me $20.00 then he left to sleep because they are leaving tomorrow with the US ship. Jake and me played some more esp. his own compositions till 9:15pm. He gave me also $20.00 tip. I gave them my card with Jake very much impress with my pioneering of chess in Palau and with my travel to Australia, Russia, Turkey, Norway and Azerbaijan because of chess.
