 ......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[/b] 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.

Congratulations! Now go practice!  I enjoy your posts very much. Your poems are quite witty, too. Not a very exquisite post here on my part... I'll have to start preparing for when you hit 20K!

So what if Apple has outposted me by a ratio of about 90 to one? What does she have to show for it? Just a large number of friends and admirers, educated readers and amigos across the country? I have been utilizing that time sitting in a darkened room using the Think Method to study the piano. By next month I'm pretty sure I'll be able to play the easy version of any Beatles song before 1964-----
