“has woman in tears”
He couldn’t suck that bad.
We have a 1927 Kimball player piano in perfect condition. Beautiful condition. I don’t know whether we could give it away.
It’s like my last boxing match.
I climbed into the ring and took of my robe.
Men screamed and women fainted.
I’d forgot my trunks.
Tip of the hat to Red Skelton.
He looks my age!
What is a piano doing in a Home Depot store?
Alley Cat was one of the first songs I learned when I was taking piano lessons as a kid. I never was very good, but I have always loved piano music.
When I had my own children, we bought a used piano, because I thought it was important to have it around for the kids to experiment with. Only one took lessons, and those were short-lived. Still, that instrument graced our home until we moved. It wasn’t worth selling, because it wasn’t in very good condition and couldn’t be tuned all the way.
So we partnered with a neighbor a block or two away, and split the moving charge. He was in a band, and was bringing his own kids up with that same love of music. It made us happy that it had a loving new home.
My wife has a piano just like that.
That happened in San Francisco at Rincon Center, huge atrium with a waterfall in the eating area and a wonderful piano in the middle, guy walks in during the lunch hour in tenni-shoes, hooded sweats and bouncing a basket ball, sits down and starts pouring out Chopin, everyone stopped eating and they place went quite except the waterfall and piano
A number of years ago, I worked for a non profit association that rented space from a state Chamber of Commerce. One day at lunch, I walked around to the back side of the building. To my astonishment,I found a full size grand piano on the basement landing. Open to the elements except for being under the first floor, the piano was beginning to deteriorate and the strings were beginning to rust. I thought about rescuing the piano but learned the sound board was cracked. Disgusting.
I have a digital piano that really does have beautiful sound. Weighs about 12 pounds. Takes up 12”x60” of space. Sits atop a stand. Full keyboard. I never could play worth a darn, but I like to try.
