The Tale:

it was the spring concert for our school and i was suposed to play the piano after all the school bands had finished (i had been taking lessons for 7 years and i had played the piano at the spring concert the year before so my mother thought it was a good idea to play again sense i did a good job the previous year)Anyways i sat down at the piano and was going to play moonlight sonata,i had gotten about 30 measures into the song when my mind went blank.i started to get real nervous(which didnt help) and started over,i got to the same spot and stopped again.i started to cry (i was 11 at the time) so i tried again and still couldnt get beyond that point so i packed my stuff up and walked away. by the way i got a standing ovation (i dont know why)i never played at concerts again.
