......Ten thousand......


I don’t know that I should be particularly proud of owning 10,000 posts, a sure indication of my peripheral obsession with any place, thing or person in any way remotedly connected with the piano. I am very much in love with many of the posters here and am extraordinarily grateful for the opportunity to participate in such a marvelous thing as this forum.

I congratulate Frank Baxter, whose very gentle guidance and reluctance to stifle the offerings of the posting public has created a medium of phenomenal possibility.

Here’s a poem


Piano Addiction


I know what it's like to be powerless
a slave to an instrument of pleasure
bonded by love with servitude
practiced slowly measure by measure
the strictest of rigid parameters
defining my moments of leisure
in a delightfully alluring and difficult
rousing relationship ever to treasure.

Way to go Apple.

Your voice is unique and much of what makes this a fun and stimulating place.
