Today I’m learning October by U2 on the piano.
While I was practicing my wife walked in to the studio and asked “is that Jimmy Fallon’s Thank You Note theme song?” She was kidding but it was pretty funny!
Even funnier (at least to me) was the fact that her comment really messed me up for a few minutes. I tried to get back to practicing October and could not get the Fallon song out of my head.
I can only hope I don’t screw up during a show and start playing the Fallon “Thank You Note” song. Otherwise faux Bono will have to pull out some thank you cards on stage to cover for me!

What’s even funnier is that what James Poyser plays during Jimmy’s Thank You Notes IS actually a sped-up-version of U2’s October. So your wife was dead on. 🙂
