Celdor - I added you to the list. Hopefully piano will be a happy relaxation after everything else on your plate!

I need to be excused for Jan. 8-14. I was visiting my mother and had no piano for practice. Had there been a piano, you can be sure my mom would have been all over me to practice.

I will add Jan 8-14 to your excused list Stubbie! Your Mom sounds like a good parent!

Hi, although I'm late in replying to this thread, I've been MOYD every day of 2017 thus far (although will have to ask for a few excused days shortly)

Thanks!

I have added you to the list MaganR!

Hi,

Please add me for 2017. I was happy with how this worked out in 2016. I missed the last few days of 2016 and the first few days of 2017 due to travel - however I did get to briefly play in a recently opened piano store in my home town, as well as on an unexpectedly nice piano at the Minneapolis-St. Paul Airport.

Thank you,

Jeff

Aloha! Missed one day (January 15)on the return from a wonderful vacation to Kailua Kona, Hawaii. We rented a weighted digital yamaha for a week and when the others were sleeping early in the morning, I was watching the dark turn to light and playing the piano. The full moon on the ocean at 4 AM is amazing.

I have you added Dr Jeff.

WiseBuff -Ah, sunrise playing in Hawaii...that sounds pretty wonderful! I rented a weighted digital when I first visited Spain last spring as well. It worked out well!

Oh, my. I'm jealous!

I missed reporting out for Wednesday 18th Jan. Not that I really minded - we went to hear Emanuel Ax at the VSO playing Beethoven's Emperor! What a treat! I got in a bit of practice before we left and when we got back so it was only one day. Facing a much bigger absence next week which I'll report in for as soon as plans are finalized.

Me too!

Oh boy, I forgot entirely: could I file an entry on the Excused list for Thursday? Must've been a 24-hour bug or something similar, since I'm feeling much better today, and managed to get a good half-hour in at the piano.

I'm feeling fairly good about this Bartok piece, and I've got my new recording position set up, so I'll see how a recording turns out over the next couple of days.

Had to miss Jan 19 due to business travel. Back at the piano today!

Palmpirate - I have added Jan 18 to your excused list. It sounds like a very worthwhile miss! I hope you enjoyed the concert!

OrangeredStilton - I added the 19th to your list. I hope you are feeling better!

ClssiLib - I added Jan 19th to your list as well.

Please count me in. I need this.

I missed practice Saturday Jan 21 as I was out of town and had no access to a piano. travel days Friday Jan 20 and today but did manage to get some time in both days

Please count me in, Swiss MS!

Braincramp and AprilE I have added you to our late starter list. Welcome!

Bsw I added Jan 21 to your excused list.

Hi SwissMS, please add me to the excused list for 20/21 Jan as I was away for the weekend
Thanks!

In the essence of accountability, I missed practice yesterday. It was planned, worked a 15 hour day and had to help the mother in law in the evening so I got to eat dinner and go straight to bed when I got home. Regardless, I'm back on the wagon if that doesn't count as excused! haha.

This thread is wonderful. I don't have issues practicing or getting myself to the piano, but there have been 3 days where not wanting to come over here and hang my head low has put me behind the keys for 5 minutes playing a repertoire piece. (Hanon be damned!)
