Drone party, and anothersmall concert!

Well, yesterday, I woke up early for an awesome day. I went to church and loved every second of it. when I got home, I rested until it was time for Mom and I to get ready for the concert. Dad and I packed everything up, including my keyboard and then when Mom and I left, I listened to very beautiful gospel music on the way up there, and I had my cuff inflated, but I waved in time with the music, and when we got there, Mom wasn't sure if we were at the right house, so she went in, and sure enough, we were where we were suppose to be. We got my ventilator, and my suction machine safely in the house, well of course, the vent was on me the whole time and so I just pulled it along with me. Whilst I was greeting everybody, they could tell that I was massively excited. some of my friends had seen the drone, which was charging, but I hadn't seen it yet. So, Mom helped me to the back porch, and I hung out there for a while whilst everybody else was arriving. I stood there and talked to friends, and then I got to tell them about the concert that wold take place later on. It was awesome.

I was so excited, and VERY VERY FLOORED, for what was about to happen. I sat out in the back yard in a chair, and conducted to my own orchestra, and talked to a few people. Mom and Heather moved me out into the shade shortly after where I sat, and listened to classical music in my head, and just had myself a good old time getting ready for the next couple of hours. So, whilst lunch was going on, or whatever meal they were having, I talked to a few people, and then heather  said, "Peter, We got a lil something for you!" Not only was there a cake with a picture of a drone on the top, but, Heather's friend Mat had brought over his motorcycle. I couldn't exactly ride on it, but i was about to sit on it, and when I found that out my heart started RACNG. I  wanted to scream, but that's kinda hard to do with weak diaphragm, and with a trach and a vent. But, I got to get off the vent for about  I'd say three minutes whilst i was sitting on the motorcycle. Ijust had to remember to breathe, which I did by reminding myself every few seconds. My heart  was racing when I got on that motorcycle, because I was sooooooo happy. I was about to get on the thing, and then, after they'd assisted me onto it, they showed me what It felt like when It was stood up, in the position that was used for riding it. It felt indescribably awesome. I put my hands on the steering device, and closed my eyes, pretending to floor it, goin down the road to a very fast Bach Piece. What do you think this Bach piece was? No other than the fifth movement of "Capriccio, Sopra BWV 992, On The Dearture Of His Beloved Brother!" The Postillion's movement, where the postillion blows that post horn, and signals that the horse has arrived! Yeah, that was such an indescribable feeling to do this. It was awwwesome!! I was then to experience somethin even better. They STARTED IT, and let me hear the engine whilst I was on it, and WOAH!!!! All I had to do was Put a helmet on, and  floor it. LOL! But with the trach, and other issues, that would not happen, but Hey, I am beyond thankful that i got to sit on the motorcycle, and rev the engine up by turning the steering device's lever. It felt awesome!! It felt massively wonderful, and tanks of Thankfullness filled my heart, because I was very very greatful for what they were doing for me. I could have started screamin the melody to that movement of "Capriccio," but I didn't have the speaking valve on, because I cannot tolerate the valve, and also, that's kinda hard to do for me with my respiratory issues, but in my head, I was doin it. Floorin the thing, and literally flying down the road to the piece I love and adore so dearly!! And in my head, I was going at the motorcycle's maximum speed. I was told that I road a motorcycle when I was little, but I don't remember it, and obviously, It had to have been wayyyyyyyyyyy before I knew about Classical music, much less "Capriccio!" Otherwise, I'd've been screaming the melody to that piece out. LOL!! It would have looked very very unconventional a lil guy like me goin down the road on one of those things, screamin the melody to a piece like "Capriccio," but I'm sure if I knew about this very very awesome kind of music,  I'd've been doin it, and doin it loud, cause that was wayyyyyyy before I got the trach, and the vent. I must've been two, or three  It seems like Mom told me. I don't remember a thing about that ride, but, hey! Heather and I are goin to eventually go to a game center where there's a simulator, and I'm gonna ride on a simulated motorcycle. Where I can get on, and move around without worrying about the thing flipping me over, all cause I was tryin to conduct to a  fast piece on a motorcycle. I've learned quite a bit about motorcycles lately, and one thing that I learned was that If I tried to move, or jump around or conduct on a motorcycle it would tip over, cause you have to go with the motorcycle and if you start jumpin around, especially whilst one is goin slow, and you're tipped toward one side, You'll learn a very unpleasant lesson, and possibly a PAINFUL lesson. "DO NOT do that whilst You're on one of these things!" I'd imagined myself conducting and moving around on a motorcycle, and even written it about in previous posts on this blog, however, I had no idea that this was unrealistic thinking, ad you can't be jumping and jerking around whilst you're on a motorcycle. Especially when you're getting up to speed, because You're the one who's holding the thing up yourself. If you're trying to conduct to an orchestra in the back whilst the driver is guiding the motorcycle, you're gonna cause him to wreck, and that's not gonna be very much appreciated with the owner or the driver, because He's going to lose control, and/or It's just going to turn over, and the driver might not want you back on his motorcycle.

Heather had to tell me that one day. With my Tourettes, and my excitement sometimes, I jump around A LOT, and some of that I can't help but if I was on a motorcycle, and that all started hapening,  The driver and I would be on the ground very very quickly, and I'd really upset, and maybe even injure the driver. I would not want to injure anybody, accidentally, OR on purpose, so, It's best if I really don't ride on the thing, because, well I've learned that I would not exactly be compatible with a safe motorcycle ride, because of all my movements, and well the temptation to conduct and jump around to an awesome classical piece! I'd make it rough for the driver, and I want people to be as safe as possibly possible on a motorcycle.

Those things are dangerous, and they can be deadly if somebody's not careful, or they do not know what they're doing, or is somebody on the back starts conducting to an orchestra!!!!



Anyhow, I've gotten wayyyyyy off topic here. When I got off the motorcycle, I profusely thanked Mat, the owner, and wished him God's blessings!

Now for the drone part.

I did not exactly get to really do much flying with the drone, but I did get to press some buttons, and move it some. You see, one of the propellors was messed up, or something was not as it should be, and so well, the thing wasn't flying well, and so the owners tried to get it to fly, but with an injured propellor, we couldn't really do that well. I did get to stand there, and got to drone on and on about broken windows, and people getting hit in the head with drones, and I was teasing Heather about which window In her house I should take out first, and who I should hit first with the thing, and we were llauthing. I was standing there loving every second of the event, and talking to Edie, Heather's and Mine's friend, about classical music, and we were having a blast. You see, Edie, has listened to my favorite Piece!! She's listened to "Capriccio!: YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!! I was really having a good time talking to her.

finally it was time for me to put on my concert. We got out the keyboard, set the stand up, and Sammy went to set up the amplifier, and  we had to move the keyboard close to the house so that we could connect the amp to it. Once it was connected we found a propper chair for me to sit in, so that I'd be at a correct height on the lawn to perform the concert. The concert started with as I always like to start out with. The Minuet in G Major, well the most commonly known one  from the Anna Magdalena Bach Notebook. And then many pieces later, It was time for the highlight, and what I had almost saved for last, but the couldn't wait anymore, and so, here comes "Aaron's  Minuet In E Flat  Major!"

First I talked about How Aaron had inspired me in my music, and how His mother had taken him to church, and discovered he was waving in time with the music, during Song Service! This still touches me today when I think about it. Finally, I played the Minuet, and then it was on to the next piece. to be honest with you all, It only seemed like five Minutes had elapsed, but I'd been playing for about 40 Minutes, when heather was like, "Peter? Let's end with "Capriccio," cause you've been goin for like 40-45 minutes and people are leaving!" So, I ended with that piece and then what do you know? Edie, our friend, was giving me a standing ovation, and I was so happy, and touched by that. It meant universes to me, and tanks and tanks of thankfullness to me. I was ecstatic at that Moment, and told everybody to give Sammy a hand for allowing me to use the amplifier! It was such a blessing to be able to use my friend's amplifier. That's a delicate andvery expensive machine, and to be able to play my music on it, meant more  than words or anything could describe. It meant so much to me, and I'm forever greatful for the blessingof being allowed to use this piece of equipment for the concert. Anyhow, the concert finally ended, and I was so greatful for the blessing of everybody's support, and their enjoyment of the music from the great composers.

I almost put my Mother to sleep with my Minuet that I've entitled the "Mobile Minuet!" That's what a mobile is meant for. to calm a baby down and/or put them to sleep. So, I guess the Minuet about did that to my Mother. LOL!

It was so wonderful to be able to play for everybody, and on the way home, Mom told me to inflate my tracheostomy's cuff to rest my lungs, and so I did, whilst we listened to music on the way home, me waving in time with the music.

The arty was everything I wanted, and MORE. It was wonderful to have this, and i was beyond thankful!!

Thank you to all who contributed and who set it up for me. It really means sooooooo much.

I want you all to know that you truly have blessed me, and all of you have a special place in my heart!


May  God bless you and keep you.
REMEMBER, ONLY HE, can love you PERFECTLY!!
