I missed 2 questions so my score was a 92%. That's still an A, right? I was made to feel inadequate for not receiving 100% score on a First Aid test. Our instructor handed out additional high fives, fist bumps and congratulations to all who received a perfect score or 96%.
That was weird to me.
The best part of the class was I got a chance to chat with a fellow student, a 71 y.o. Hawaiian piano player who has lead the most fascinating life!!! His mentors were Dizzy Gillespie, Joe Sample, Diane Reeves. This man has some GREAT stories to tell. I could listen to him all day long, he tells his story with such humility and passion! My favorite story is when he's asked to play "Tiny Bubbles" for the one billionth time and he'll oblige for a few bars and then on his cue the band will "funk it up" he words! LOVE IT!!
