Blue Moon making me not blue
The song is just happy to begin with. I don't know the lyrics, maybe they're not that happy but the melody just makes me smile. Adding the solo makes it feel like I'm really playing piano. I can see a future where I'm pulling this off on my own if I continue learning courses like this.
