真夏の夜の拾得
娘と拾得の飛び入りライブに行ってきた。マイ・ガール、スリル・イズ・ゴーン、サティスファクションを演奏してきた。最初の二曲を鍵盤ハーモニカ、最後は珈琲缶ドラムを演奏した。ピアノに関しては、娘には「マイガール」では白鍵だけを、「スリル・イズ・ゴーン」では黒鍵だけを使って弾いてと教えただけ。だからすべて、あの子の音楽センスでアドリブで演奏している。とても楽しかった。娘は夏休みの宿題の絵日記にこの日の出来事を書いた。 My daughter and I went to an open mic at Jittoku. We played three songs: "My Girl," "The Thrill Is Gone," and "Satisfaction." She played the melodion on the first two songs and the drums on the last one. I didn’t teach her much about how to play the piano—I just told her to play only the white keys for "My Girl," and only the black keys for "The Thrill Is Gone." So she played both songs ad-lib, guided by her musical sense. We had a great time there, and she wrote a picture diary about the event for her summer vacation homework.
