Totally OT (for those of you who care about such things): My Piano is Coming
On Sat 19 Apr 2008 12:42:35p, Ms P told us...
"Wayne Boatwright" wrote in message 3.184... I'm really very excited! I haven't been without a piano in my life since I was 4-1/2 years old when I began taking lessons. That is, until about 4-1/2 years ago when I had to sell my cherished grand and we moved into a small rental house. Now that we are in our own home, albeit not that large. I've ordered a really fine quality electronic piano (size constraints), which will arrive on Tuesday next week. Can't wait to get my hands on it! -- Wayne Boatwright How cool!! I'm excited for you!!

I used to be, IMNSHO, quite accomplished, but it's going to take a lot of practicing to regain that "professional quality" I once had. Felice, it doesn't matter who hears it or whether it's perfect or not. It's the pleasure that it provides you that counts. I hope you do play your piano when you're at your daughters. Plus, the modern electric pianos have headphone jacks so you can hammer into the night and only keep yourself awake.  Andy I hadn't thought of suggesting that, but it's the perfect solution. -- Wayne Boatwright ------------------------------------------- Saturday, 04(IV)/19(XIX)/08(MMVIII) ------------------------------------------- Countdown till Memorial Day 5wks 1dys 10hrs 50mins ------------------------------------------- 2400 Baud makes you want to get out and push!! -------------------------------------------

And my grands play it, too, so it's not a total loss. Felice I'm glad to hear that. I've known people who played and gave away their pianos, never to play again.

P.S., If you interested, I just posted 3 midi recordings I made back in the 1990s on alt.binaries.music.midi. These were recorded on the Yamaha sequencer... Fantasie Impromptu, Hungarian Rhapsody, and Nocturne. Wayne, I'll happily give them a listen!!! Thanks! Andy

Maybe I can find room for one of those tabletop jobs. Felice Felice, Hope you find one! Some are very space-saving standing up on end in a closet or elsewhere when not being played. So you don't have to permanently allocate table space. Best, Andy

You'd be surprised at what you can do on the PC to feed a musical keyboard. Some years ago, back in Ohio, I had a Yamaha Clavinova as a second piano that I also had connected to my PC. I had a software program that helped me generate music for the Yamaha. It was fun. There is software available now, that I would like to get, that will allow me to compose on the piano, direct it to the PC, and it will generate musical notation on scored pages. Neat, huh? Congrats on your new purchase, you will have to let us know how you like it. Cakewalk software can be a lot of fun. Becca

Donna in NJ, whose choice of house depended on a room large enough to accommodate two 6-foot grands, each of us having brought one to the marriage How fabulous! I love nothing better than the sight of two grands entwined. What wonderful musical experiences you must share! In a former life with a former partner, we had a rescued and restored Kimball theatre pipe organ installed, along with a Mason and Hamlin concert grand. We literally had the room built around those instruments, and it was great fun. We also did some concert work together. -- Wayne Boatwright ------------------------------------------- Saturday, 04(IV)/19(XIX)/08(MMVIII) ------------------------------------------- Countdown till Memorial Day 5wks 1dys 6hrs ------------------------------------------- I intend to live forever or die trying. -------------------------------------------

I have no musical talent (aside from listening) but often think how grand it would be to sit down at a piano and do more than find middle C. Second choice is the violin. I'm sure you'll be happy playing again.
