Piano
It's all about Piano. At least it has been in my life for about 42 years. I started playing piano at 8 years old. It seems hard to believe that a generation has passed, I am the father of one in College, and two in High School, and the Husband of a beautiful girl for 25 years (in Feb. 2007). My how the time flies. But, other than the routine of family and earning a living, my days, every day, have been involved in one way or another with the Piano. There were piano lessons for 17 years, and during those years, piano accompaniment for both Church and High School Chorus and small groups. Then touring the country performing Inspirational Concerts over and over, trying to keep it fresh every day. Then recording albums beginning in 1987. Then selling those albums, here there and everywhere. And then along came the Internet, and mp3.com and downloads, and web domains, and online streaming, and web hosting. But it's all been wrapped around the piano in one way or another. Up to this point for about 8 years, my website has the title, John Troutman Piano Instrumental Music, but today, I gave it a new name, simply, "Piano". Because, that should be the focus for a beautiful instrument that pervades so many areas of my life. So hopefully in the future when you search for John Troutman in Google, you will find me under the heading "Piano".
