words


Ever notice how certain
words just roll off
the tongue
and
tickle your senses?

Case in point...
arpeggio.


"You need to play this
piece...arpeggio."

Well, like you
(possibly)
I loved the word
BUT
I had no idea what it meant.

Loved it so much in fact,
I asked the person to repeat it.

Not for clarity,
mind you...
but for the mere pleasure
of hearing it said...
again.

"Arpeggio."



I found it means
to play notes of a chord
in succession.


"I will try that," I said with a
cheeky grin.

Before I did...
I went home and had to
first search
for this new...strange...yet wonderful
word.

Then...
I went to a most
remarkable site
to hear it pronounced
properly...
by a
tall, dark,
(or so the eye of my imagination saw)
gorgeous...
intense brown, dreamy-eyed...
Italian.

oooh...
arpeggio...
aaah...
arpeggio...

push.
play.
repeat.
love it!

  1. Here at our house, Sam has discovered the word "touche'", and likes to use it at most appropriate moment for maximum laughs. Luke is a recent fan of "indeed" and "indubitably", which are also fun words to say! I like to sprinkle my conversations with yoga words like "sacrum" and "chivasin", even though I don't know what in the heck they mean! LOL!
