the idea: learn “Empty Chairs” from Les Mis on guitar

I’ve seen Les Mis twice now.  Thankfully both times I went with people who enjoyed it.  (Interestingly they both had a theater background, so I’d say that’s a good review for the movie).

I have to admit that I’ve never seen the musical and while I had heard of it, I knew very little about the story overall before going to see the movie.

The second time I went to see it was this past weekend with my friend Simone.  She adored it and has been playing the music throughout our house since then.  After going to see the movie we went to buy our kitchen table.  Through an unfortunate series of events we haven’t had one since Thanksgiving.

Although I’ve been waiting for quite a while to go out and get this table, buying it right after we saw Les Mis probably wasn’t the best idea.  Now every morning that Simone is up first I hear her singing along to a Youtube video of “Empty Chairs at Empty Tables” from Les Mis.

I was looking for a new song to learn on guitar anyway so I’m going to learn it for her, just so that she can walk into the house while I play it and no one else is home.  I’ll have to plan this very carefully…
