I've added a lot of new licks to my bag of tricks by accidentally playing something that sounded good and then practicing how to do it on purpose. Joe Whitehead ------ Texas Trax

But one time I remember vividly is when I was learning a piece by Stanton Lanier, "Contentment," and I completely misread one of notes (one of those tricky low ledger line notes), and I misplayed it for several weeks before I recognized the error. But the mistaken note sounded pretty darned good, and even after I noticed the mistake, I waffled between playing it the "right" way vs. playing it the mistaken way. http://www.youtube.com/pianomonica

Sometimes I'm happily playing Cs and Es and its supposed to be Es and Gs or something similar. Thankfully (a) it's not given as much trouble as I thought it would when I took up Piano and (b) most of the time it still sounds good (lol) - SC "...I'm out there Jerry and I'm LOVING it!..."
