posture
raze
i
used
to
feel
self
-conscious
about
the
way
i
slouch
when
i
play
piano
.
i
know
how
you're
supposed
to
sit
.
my
body
won't
be
bent
that
way
.
i
don't
feel
connected
to
the
instrument
unless
i'm
leaning
into
it
and
engaging
in
some
sort
of
meaningful
physical
communion
with
the
thing
.
years
ago
,
katie
took
a
picture
of
me
playing
her
parents'
old
upright
.
my
hair
spilling
out
of
a
loose
ponytail
.
i
looked
like
a
squid
with
scoliosis.
when
i
watched
a
video
of
bill_evans
playing
a
gig
in
norway
five
weeks
before
he
died
,
i
learned
he
had
awful
piano
posture
too
.
and
i
thought
, "
maybe
i'm
not
in
such
bad
company
."
