Thread Name: Farewell to the family piano
Subject: RE: Farewell to the Family Piano
BOOM DE AH DAH
alas, many a parlor piano
only gets to play Chop Sticks
and Heart And Soul.

mine longs for more opportunities
to be played...right now it serves
as a shelf for a terrarium, and a
music rack...ah, the old 88...

i remember hearing a song about
someone's father who played the
piano in a parade and i can jsut
imagine the logistics of hoisting
a full sized piano onto a parade
float!!

i am just now arranging to find
another home for the other key
board in my life...that accordion
that sits unused on the shelf will
soon be in the hands of someone who
will play it i hope...

i hope your brother's house proves
to be a good place for the instrument
in your family!
