Piano Talk


This is what J.S. Bach had to say about playing the piano:

There's nothing remarkable about it. All one has to do is hit the right keys at the right time and the instrument plays itself.

This is what Fannie Brice had to say about giving birth:

It's like pushing a piano through a transom.

Beach Boys founding member Dennis Wilson had this to say about life:

All I need is a big surfboard and a piano.

And how can any of us forget the title of the 1978 album released by the band REO Speedwagon?

You Can Tune a Piano But You Can't Tuna Fish


I share these bits of wisdom with you for only one reason. I wish to share with you my super hero power, which is the ability to stop a polite dinner party conversation dead in its tracks. In this case, should the subject of pianos happen to come up, you are now well prepared. You are ever so welcome.
