03 Apr 06 - 06:44 PM (#1709752) Subject: RE: WANTED: SPARKIES MAGIC PIANO From: Joybell "Play Piano! Play!!" I remember! It's based on the sort of dream where you aren't prepared and you're out on a big stage with everyone watching. I have a friend (banjo player at the time)who once dreamed he was asked to play at this big concert with a very important band. They started to play and he was told that they always played in "H sharp". He was terrified because he'd never heard of playing in H sharp. Suddenly he realized that he could play in "I flat" and it was of course the same key. Cheers, Joy |

The album was written and produced by Alan Livingston, story copyright 1947. AND THERE'S A GREAT BIG SCRATCH ACROSS SIDE ONE!!!! ARGHHHHH! Robyn |
