What secret talent do you have?
Many years ago I taught myself to play the piano. I've recently re-recorded some tunes I made years ago, because I've missed them.
Listen to the track 'Eddie':
www.myspace.com/basspianoakm
Call it coming out of retirement 'just one more time'. I was impressed that it only took 3 hours of practice to play them, after many years of not playing at all.
What's your secret talent? |

Is that really a "secret" talent? Lots of people can play the piano, certainly more so than those who are able to bend a spoon with their toes. Now that's a secret talent. |

I used to be able to do an absolutely perfect Maya Angelou impersonation. People couldn't tell the difference between when I spoke and a recording of her over the phone. It's actually not terribly difficult for a guy to do a Maya Angelou impersonation I suppose. I haven't done it in years though and I'm probably a bit rusty. There really isn't much demand for Maya Angelou impersonations by white guys, or by anyone I guess. It's not like she's frequently parodied. |

I can do a great eagle call. It took a lot of time to master. No one believed I could do it - or maybe they just wanted me to shut up and quit whistling!
Little rusty these days, not many eagles to talk to!
I can also talk to crows. But there just isn't that much to say.... |

I can stand with my heels and knees together and have my feet face nearly backwards. Not really a talent more a weird deformity |

I don't wear make-up on a daily basis, but I am very good at making up.
I can simulate the sound of those 1930's Chinese pop songs played by a phonogragh. |

I think the term we're looking for is "hidden talent." |

No, I think it's secret.
The OP's religion discourages playing of music with strong beats. |

Brilliant! Check out this SFW (i.e. safe for work) scene from Lust, Caution: www.youtube.com/watch?v=i9YLIjddVhE#t=4m40s |

Heres a funny challenge for students.
Who can touch their nose with their tongue?
Typically theres one in a class of 30+. Much laughter ensues. |

I can make my hands sweat at will if I feel they are too dry.
Seriously. |
