While serving in Georgetown, Texas, I befriended a missionary by the name of Elder Buhler. He was a brilliant pianist, who could come up with his own arrangements of video game music just by hearing it. He and I spent many hours jamming out together (on our P Days, of course), and I was always impressed because it never seemed like his arms or hands got tired playing so fast.

My ear had become more trained to transpose music over the course of my mission, and this being near the end I figured I might have a shot at attempting one of Elder Buhler's songs.
