What Made you Smile/What Ticked you off Today?

[KitKatCara]

So my classes went active yesterday. For some of the courses, the whole semester posted, and for some just a few lessons posted. I'm a bit freaked out though, because each syllabus says refer to the calendar on my home page for due dates. My calendar has no events on it.

I emailed two of the professors about it, but I think they switch from in school to online later in the day. I hate not knowing things.

The kid also has been freaking out because apparently she inherited my obsession with pens. She has magic markers, but noooooo she wants mommy's pens.

So I got sent home today as one of the government workers (military) without pay. Maybe we should start a kickstarter for a functional government.

The interesting thing about that is that the House and Senate both passed a measure over the weekend to fund military pay.

She has arrived:



She's getting tuned next week, but as for now she sounds like a bar piano, so I've been playing a lot of Billy Joel, Jerry Leiws, and lots of blues and honky tonk.

Oh Happy Day!

Awesome!!! I have an upright myself and it sounds great. I'll probably want to refinish it someday, but I got it for a steal, so I'm not too worried about that right now.

It's no Steinway, but she sure sounds beautiful.

I hope you practice regularly as dusty pianos should not exist.

Piano tuners and dealers will say, "Eh, a Steinway sounds the same as any other piano and needs as much care". Bullshirt. Solid wood key structure. ivory keys, etc., You get what you pay for when buying a piano.

I'd like to frame one of my compositions and hang it above the piano, but the wife says "That would be too self absorbed looking". She's 99.9% correct, so there goes that idea. Might install an overhead lamp for when playing at night.

Looks like it might be an extra $150 to tune this lady, as she is long in the tooth. No worries, that means I get to blame the piano for the next week for missed notes.

Sorry to be a traitor guys, but for quite a while it will be Piano>Vidjagamz

I'm military and still working/getting paid. However, the other services we're used to like the on-base gym, community center, grocery store, and library are closed until further notice.

Niiiiiiiiiiiiiiice.

My in-laws are trying to get rid of their piano. I keep telling my wife we should take it, but she's not thrilled with that idea. I'd like my daughter to take piano lessons someday - I feel that if you want to play any instrument you should start with the piano to get a solid foundation.
