When
I
first
started
playing
the
cello
,
Dad
was
still
playing
drums
in
his
band
,
though
that
all
started
to
taper
off
a
couple
years
later
when
Teddy
arrived
.
But
right
from
the
get
-
go
,
I
could
see
that
there
was
something
different
about
playing
my
kind
of
music
,
something
more
than
my
parents
’
obvious
bewilderment
with
my
classical
tastes
.
My
music
was
solitary
.
I
mean
Dad
might
hammer
on
his
drums
for
a
few
hours
by
himself
or
write
songs
alone
at
the
kitchen
table
,
plinking
out
the
notes
on
his
beat
-
up
acoustic
guitar
,
but
he
always
said
that
songs
really
got
written
as
you
played
them
.
That
was
what
made
it
so
interesting
.
When
I
played
,
it
was
most
often
by
myself
,
in
my
room
.
Even
when
I
practiced
with
the
rotating
college
students
,
other
than
during
lessons
,
I
still
usually
played
solo
.
And
when
I
gave
a
concert
or
recital
,
it
was
alone
,
on
a
stage
,
my
cello
,
myself
,
and
an
audience
.
And
unlike
Dad
’
s
shows
,
where
enthusiastic
fans
jumped
the
stage
and
then
dive
-
bombed
into
the
crowd
,
there
was
always
a
wall
between
the
audience
and
me
.
After
a
while
playing
like
this
got
lonely
.
It
also
got
kind
of
boring
.
So
in
the
spring
of
eighth
grade
I
decided
to
quit
.
I
planned
to
trail
off
quietly
,
by
cutting
back
my
obsessive
practices
,
not
giving
recitals
.
I
figured
that
if
I
laid
off
gradually
,
by
the
time
I
entered
high
school
in
the
fall
,
I
could
start
fresh
,
no
longer
be
known
as
"
the
cellist
.
"
Maybe
then
I
’
d
pick
up
a
new
instrument
,
guitar
or
bass
,
or
even
drums
.
Plus
,
with
Mom
too
busy
with
Teddy
to
notice
the
length
of
my
cello
practice
,
and
Dad
swamped
with
lesson
plans
and
grading
papers
at
his
new
teaching
job
,
I
figured
nobody
would
even
realize
that
I
’
d
stopped
playing
until
it
was
already
a
done
deal
.
At
least
that
’
s
what
I
told
myself
.
The
truth
was
,
I
could
no
sooner
quit
cello
cold
turkey
than
I
could
stop
breathing
.
I
might
have
quit
for
real
,
were
it
not
for
Kim
.
