My Piano


My sisters and I grew up in a very musical family. We all loved to sing, but of course some of us shouldn't, including myself. Some of us have wonderful voices, some played the violin, guitar, but what I fell in love with was the Piano. Actually it was my sister and I. Every Weds we would walk together to take our lessons from Mrs. Stein. She was a wonderful older lady who taught us classical to boogie woogie. Of course I wanted to learn Smoke on the Water, but that wasn't happening. I just wish I kept with it....as I grew older my priorities changed. But my love for my piano is still alive. Sometimes I sit and play but I never get bored just looking at it.

what a sweet little story. It really reminds me of my mom...she used to play and every once in a while when she's stressed she'll sit down at the piano...

Beautiful piano.
The longing for musical talent is over-powering sometimes, isn't it?

Nice. Wish I could say the same. I can play a mean Mary Had a Little Lamb though!
