I've been having an affair

[DanC]

Which is why I haven't been around as much.

She's 5'6", black, and beautiful.

Here's her picture.

I call her "Sam" It's been over 15 years since I've touched anything so beautiful. What's more... my wife set the whole thing up!

 

[dennilfloss]

So... You let your fingers do the talking with this one, eh?

 

[DanC]

Absolutely
Her voice is like music to my ears. I can't wait to run my hands all over her every day. She seems to like it too.

 

[ElFenix]

nice! my parents had a 1920s "apartment grand," very nice piano, went well with the 1920s executive desk in the den.

 

[RaySun2Be]

Oooh baby!

We happen to have a 1904 baby grand in our living room, we purchased last year. It has a long history, belonged to a concert pianist and music teacher, the daughter wanted it to go to a home that would treasure it and use it. My wife teaches piano and voice, and that baby has been a real blessing, and the students love playing on it. She even let's me play with it sometimes.

May you enjoy your "baby" for many years to come!

 

[Jator]

Yeah, but can you get her to crack and keys? Wonder if we can compile a client for 'her'?

Noooooo! :Q Don't let her keys crack! They're too beautiful as they are!

 

[Russ]

Man, what a Yuppy. BTW, he really does play that thing.

[Adul]

The question is Russ, is he any good?

 

[imported_Thunder]

Just be careful Dan.... we all know you've been cracking keys so long, we're just worried you've forgotten how to be gentle.

Have a good time with 'er.

 

[Russ]

Adul,

I haven't heard him, but his wife says that, yes, he's good. He's also a gourmet chef, electrician, carpenter, NT wizard, master gardener, multi-lingual, landscaper, etc. He's one of those guys that's good at everything.

In other words, he sucks.

Russ, NCNE

<< In other words, he sucks. >>



Do I detect a hint of jealously here.

lol master gardener

 

[ElFenix]

the only problem with really old pianos is that they're really hard to tune.

master trout raiser?

 

[networkman]

Well, I'm glad you're happy. As for me, playing the radio is about it, and some days even that's not easy!

 

[RaySun2Be]

<the only problem with really old pianos is that they're really hard to tune.>

Yes, we spent about $150 to fix loose pegs so she will hold her tune. Later this year we are going to have her restrung. The bass strings have really lost a lot of tone. But it still is better than the console we were using before.

<< but his wife says that, yes, he's good >>

No comment.

 

[divide by zero]

Boy, I wish I sucked that bad!

 

[DanC]

I think Russ overestimates just a wee bit. I do a few things reasonably well, but there's always someone better, and someone to learn from. The more I learn, the more I realize how much I have to learn.

I have a long way to go before I'm back to anywhere near where I was 15 years ago. I am just fortunate to have such a wonderful wife, and good friends.

It would of course be easier had I chosen to pursue Pop music or something. Of course, I have to take the hard road and go the classical route. I likely have Debussy turning over in his grave, but it provides a couple of hours a day of bliss...
