At 11 PM hubby came home from his evening's activity and brought the mail in from our mailbox a half mile away.

The best thing in the bunch of mail was the 2nd issue of this really great magazine. I stopped watching TV and picked it up and read through quickly looking at all the amazing content, the contributors, the summer camp listings for students and teachers, the college advertising from across the country, but mostly I was engrossed with the contemporary subject matter that we as piano teachers are finding in our studios every day!

I can't wait to get back to serious reading tomorrow!

It's 1AM here!

Betty, you are indeed a lucky individual. Yesterday's mail brought me the March-April 2009 issue. They are making me wait to receive the May-June issue. Bummer!

I too just received my March/April magazine, and after having it sit on my desk for a couple of days, I noticed something. Am I the only one who is disturbed by the apparently bloody keyboard on front?? I can't imagine hat else could be on those keys, but you'd think they would have been a bit more selective of their pictures!

Yes, I just got mine, and the first thing I saw was the bloody keyboard. Surely it's paint...

I actually picked up my copy of that one at the Frances Clark booth at MTNA and mentioned it - he said it seems to the most frequently asked question about the issue, and no one really knows the significance of the picture. Other than that they claim it's paint.
