The Man at the Front Desk

The man at the front desk is named Gennagee Borisavich. I had a feeling he liked me but it was confirmed earlier today.

I was practicing piano in an old classroom when I heard the door creak open. There is a chalkboard in the way of the door, so I peeked under and I saw Gennagee Borisavich walk in. I thought he was going to yell at me and tell me I had been in this room too long and he needed the key.

But he walked over, smiled, and gave me a piece of sheet music. It is from a USSR movie from the 1930s. It is a children's movie that was the first movie ever to have puppets and live actors together.

The tune itself is a little mournful, a little pretty, and a little nostalgic. You can hear the song in the beginning of the movie. Here is the movie in entirety:

Gennagee Borisavich wants me to play the song and sing it at the same time. I hope this will turn into a big songbook project and he will bring me more songs.
