Well, my multi-talented friend - you just keep surprising me pleasantly. I didn't even know you knew how to play piano, and I love the choice of Eagles - one of my all-time favorites. And let me acknowledge your courage, as well. As much as public speaking is infamous for evoking fear in those who must undertake it, I have to say that performing playing an instrument and singing accompaniment has got to be a level beyond such fear! You go, girl!
Lol! You are so sweet! I was going to be a concert pianist, started lessons when I was 5. At age 15, my teacher had to break the bad news to me: My hands were too little, I can barely span an octave. I played for a few weddings, then gave up all notion of being a professional musician. As a kid, I had no stage fright over anything, ever. I can still speak publicly but could not play in public. I can only do this because it is in the privacy of my home and I do not have to feel anyone's eyes on me... Once it is recorded, I just can't care what people think. I have no delusions that I am fabulous so you cannot hurt my feelings pointing out that I am not that good, and I still play better than most of the people who would be inclined to insult me lol!
Thanks for the encouragement!
This is very touching :) I think what @udbarflower says is true, I would like to have so much courage as you, I want to be able to sing and accompain myself playing the piano too.Nice work!
Thank you! It is odd, I find it much easier to sing with the guitar, playing piano must use more of my brain? And it is really not courage, I am just old enough to have a very healthy reserve of "not give a shit what people think" lol!
Yeah! it's true @fishyculture, that's why I think I have to practice a lot before I can do it. Haha I have not reached that level of wisdom in life, but, I'm trying to not give so much importance to what others think of me, and well, now I'm publishing videos XD

It comes with age, I think... it did for me any way! You are young and talented, you will soon find the confidence you are earning now!
