I understand - There are ghosts in those old pianos.

I was pissed at my sister when I visted their home and found that they had sold the family piano that my mother had played when she was little. My sister should have known that I wanted it. I didn't really consider that I didn't know how to play it - and I couldn't afford to move it from Florida to Texas.

But I swear that if I ever sell a good instrument again that I will write down it's history and put it inside the case. If the new owner throws it away - so be it.
