Hey MM&H, I'm interested. I'm thinking about being in Michigan around Easter weekend. Any chance it might be around then?


You ought to revisit this thread - http://www.pianoworld.com/ubb/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?/topic/22/115.html - if you want to make this happen. There were a number of people there who were interested, but you'd probably have to e-mail them. A lot of people don't post frequently enough to pick up on these dated things.

Great idea! I live in Ann Arbor so it's an easy drive. And then we'll all go shopping at IKEA afterwards! laugh

Hope I'm entitled to change the time frame. Really didn't notice that Easter was at the end of March. I think mid April would be a better setting - my tuner will be back in town then also. Thinkin about April 26th ... can everyone still make that date?

I only just saw this. I'm glad you're changing the date -- I am going to be out of town for the rest of March, but would love to come on the 26th of April.

I'm gonna be in Costa Rica, but it was kind of a long shot for me anyway. I hope you have a great turn out. It would be great to see more midwest piano parties.

I am a pianist songwriter and am thinking about having a house concert in September with pianist David Nevue from Oregon..he is a New Age pianist and friend of mine. Is a house concert similar to the piano party you are planning? Just curious. Please let me know... I would love to go to a local house concert. Please let me know. Thanks!

Terimr,

Here is a good example of a piano party...


Cape Cod Piano Party


It's a gathering of members (and non-members) who share a love of the piano.

Typically it involves food, drink, friends, and music.
Eveyone takes turns playing, and everyone gets to know each other. The idea is to relax and have fun (and we like pictures, lots of pictures).

Best,

- Frank B.

Hi MM&H,

What a wonderful idea! Please count me in, and my husband John. I've only just seen your thread (thanks to a PM from Nan) so my delayed response doesn't reflect a lack of enthusiasm!

We've pencilled in April 26 and will make sure to keep the date open.

Carol

Can I attend without playing? I'm in the process of buying a piano, but until I do, I have no opportunity to practice. I'd love to hear and meet others, though.

I'd love to try something like that. FYI: for all of you IKEA pilgrims, there's a nice piano store, Evola Music, right down the road. Mostly Yamahas and Kawais.

Please let me know the details as well. I'd love to come to a party like that.

While the internet can be creepy, we all know that bad people don't play the piano. All the musical villains I can think of play the organ...
