FUSSY FRASIER FUMES OVER FATHER'S FOIBLES -- On the eighth anniversary of the day Martin (John Mahoney) moved in with him, a resentful Frasier (Kelsey Grammer) chafes at the notion that he and his father are like "an old married couple," and when Martin accidentally spills oil on his carpet, Frasier accidentally but utterly destroys the old man's most cherished item. Meanwhile Niles (David Hyde Pierce) launches a crusade to teach both Roz (Peri Gilpin) and Daphne (Jane Leeves) how to play the piano[/b]-- unfortunately, Daphne would rather tickle Niles than tickle the ivories.

I read on another thread that David Hyde Pierce is

Pierce apparently has played for a long time, studied it in school, realized felt somewhat intimidated by his peers' abilities, and transferred to English/drama.

Well, so, did anyone watch the episode? I did, and can't figure out why it's the only time I've ever seen the piano's lid DOWN - its up, warping and gathering dust when its a background prop all the shots in other episodes, then its DOWN in the episode that they actually play it. ? Jodi
