Tell Me Us About Your Piano
I was reading Tamar's blogaversary post recently (congratulations are in order.) When I saw her piano so soon after posting about my piano, I got to thinking. How many of you bloggers have pianos? If you do, why not tell us when and why you got yours, who plays it now, who used to play it, etc. etc. I'm all ears. And for photos, I'm all eyes. (This makes me very interesting to the ophtalmologist and the otolaryngologist.)

We used to have a piano. My husband kept piling stuff on top of it. (It was an upright.)
I'm a neat freak. Freak as in FREAK! Husband thinks a flat surface calls for things to be on it.
I kept telling him that if he didn't stop putting papers and sh*t on the piano, the piano was going.
He kept piling stuff on the piano. He went on a business trip to Wash.,D.C. I sold the piano. Cheap. CHEAP.
We're still married. This was maybe 30 years ago. He's never mentioned it. Now he's 77 and I'm 64. I keep waiting....
We have a baby grand that D1 and I play. We used to have an antique, but Hurricane Andrew took care of that one.
We got it shortly after we moved back into our house, which would have been July, 1993.
It looks great in our formal living room. I just wish it was used more.
Tamar - I too spend time blogging when I could be playing my piano (sigh). I would make a New Year's resolution to change that, but I am hopelessly self-indulgent and do only what I feel like an awful lot of the time, so resolutions are pointless. I paid my "Responsibility Dues" in advance.
Frank - Most hill billys don't even go to Naples, let alone get married and acquire a piano there. I think you're blowing your cover.
TLP - It's a good think your husband didn't marry me: there would be no navigable flat surfaces in our home. I keep the cover of my baby grand up, so there's no temptation...everything would slide right off.
Fred - just keep it tuned, so when inspiration hits, you won't hear too many sour notes. Oh, and move it into the family room (like that's gonna happen).
We own a piano because I couldn't imagine raising my kids in a house that didn't contain one.
Our neighbor The Rolfer was given a piano in a barter exchange, but he already had a piano so he gave it to us. It's not a great piano, and many of the keys are now chipped (by us) but I love having it. I play it every day.
