THE ADVENTURES OF JJ PICKLETOES

Johann Sebastian Bach. 

To his friends and I it was JS. 

Like people just call me JJ. 

So, it seems that I am almost famous. 

Famous by association. 

I guess JS is rubbing off on me, they also say that you are the average of the people you spend the most time with. 

JS was the eighth and youngest child of Johann Ambrosius Bach, a composer and his musical wife, Maria Elisabeth Lammerhirt.  

JS was taught how to play several musical instruments by his father, brother and uncles, before going to music school. 

After graduating from music school in 1702 he got his first job in 1703. 

He worked at several churches throughout Germany before finally settling in Leipzig. 

He died in Leipzig at the age of 65. 

I know that my Mom has been to the church in Leipzig where JS worked.

She went there with her German friends. 

Perhaps my father, and other relatives are going to teach me important things as well. 

You see I am only 1 years old and I am almost working.

I am also beyond my years. 

Some people have been saying that I am almost advanced for my age, like Bach. 

You see I am almost a composer as well. 

It seems that I can almost do many things. 

I can almost play a song on the piano and I can almost sing. 

I can almost talk. 

I can almost walk. 

I can almost speak French, and I can almost speak German.  

I can see that if this pattern keeps up a lot of doors will open up for me. 

Maybe one day I will almost graduate and then I might almost travel. 

At this rate the world will almost be my oyster very soon. 

This word “almost” is a funny word. It means, very nearly but not exactly or entirely.  

So, I’m not exactly talking or walking or singing or dancing but almost. 

If my parents almost went to Winnipeg, did they get to the Perimeter and turn around or did they change their minds before they even left home? 

Let me know in the comments if you are almost good at something.
