Reeves Piano and Synthesizer Music Album 18

Album 18 - In The Beginning Cover Art in Color as shown on the Reeves Motal Piano and Synthesizer Music Website

I've been playing piano since I was a little three years impossible brat. You can read more about that on the Introduction Page. God only knows how I survived childhood. For that matter, survived until now. No one, including me, ever thought I'd see thirty.

Anyway, back to music -

My mother had a near operatic voice and had sung with a couple of bands during the war, (when she wasn't helping to build bombers.) My brother was a similarly talented baritone that sang first in the church and school choirs and then at Texas in the University Men's Choir. My dad couldn't carry a tune in a bucket. Guess whose singing genes I ended up with?

If one of my uncles had gone to Nashville instead of law school, he might have anticipated Roy Orbison. He sang just like him and was a lot better guitarist. Another uncle played a concert tuba in college and might have continued professionally, but the Marine Corps had other ideas for him. An aunt by marriage sang with a USO Band. One grandmother was a soprano in the church choir. One grandpa was a piano player - the other played fiddle with his brothers in a country band. My brother was also a pretty decent guitarist. So - as an annoying little brat I grew up around musical talent.

One last thing. It was strictly an unfortunate coincidence that most of my music teachers ended up in mental health facilities. Hmmm - there were also a number of my regular teachers that also ended up in the "home." A regular epidemic - I think it must have been caused by something in the home town water supply.

PS Unless you are as big of geeky engineer as I am, you might not "get" the album cover's Genesis reference. Those are the four equations for electromagnetism in integral form, Maxwell's Equations, as first formulated by James Clerk Maxwell. Light is a form of electromagnetism so back In The Beginning those four equations were necessary to be able to say, "Let There Be Light."
