About Me

Matt has been playing the piano ever since a large yacht crash in 1978 when all the lifeboats were taken by the rich and powerful and he had to jump onto a floating steinway that fell out of the dance hall as the hull cracked in half. His dad was there too and taught him some chords as they were waiting to be rescued. Kate Winslet was asking for our help since she couldn't swim very well, but I was too distracted by some strange diminished chord (that I still can't play to this day) and she had to find some other plank of wood or something. Hope she made it...haven't heard from her since. and no, I didn't just jump from 3rd person to 1st person...you're imagining that.I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4
