Amazing

!@#$%

It sounds "woke-ish" to me. A lot of people got their heads cut off. That was kind of the point.

@Bernard I have see some of her videos, but thanks for the reminder! I’ve been following piano stuff online for so long that these days, there are very few times I encounter something that’s truly new to me. But I find that even with ideas (e.g., practice tips or performance strategies) that I’ve heard before, it’s helpful to hear how different piano teachers convey the ideas. And sometimes I’ll hear something that I heard in the past or used to do but have gotten away from, and hearing about it again leads me to reintroduce it to my practice routine. So it’s always really good to have these videos!

I’m guessing you went out the back door. I do a lot of things on autopilot, too! And wonder how I got where I got…

@wtg said in A pretty little camp: That’s a sweet house and I love the property. The stream is to die for. Propane refrigerator. Interesting! the camp i was caretaking in Maine years ago had a propane refrigerator and propane wall sconces for lighting. i loved how quiet it was. once you've lived off grid the electric noises in a conventional home can drive you bats.

@Steve-Miller Yeah. Cunningham! I just don't have a big enough house--unless one is talking about house cleaning, then my house is too big! But I'd love a player piano. As it is, I have a piano, a pump organ, and a M&H Melodion.

I love this tune. Link to video

The new safety features cars have are a minor miracle. I doubt the lives they've saved and injuries they've prevented can be counted.

@wtg Thanks for posting that, wtg. I really needed it after the NYTimes' distasteful decision to run Andrew Sullivan's diatribe against the LGBTQ community today. Why they thought publishing a litany of hyperbole and anecdotes attacking the community under the headline "How The Gay Rights Movement Radicalized, and Lost Its Way," on the anniversary of Obergefell was a good idea, I can't fathom. Other than the insatiable desire for clicks. It was the last straw for me. Coming on the heels of their couching an endorsement for Cuomo in their "non-endorsing" editorial, and the general descent of their online front page into bland, very "safe" but clickbait headlines, the sum of which leaves one completely unaware of the horrifying situation the US finds itself in, I decided to cancel my subscription.

@Piano-Dad It’s rare to replace one of those roofs. What usually happens is they take off the tile, put new waterproofing paper down and put the tile back again. Nice house!

@ShiroKuro I think Mik has answered that question.

@wtg said in No Kings Day: In LA. [image: 250614-no-kings-los-angeles-01-cs-fb9792.jpg] Is that a prop or a public art installation? I am impressed either way.

I think I’m in the piano market again. My 9 foot vintage Mason & Hamlin needs a new action, but more than that, if I suddenly died, my wife would be tasked with trying to get rid of it…not easy for a concert grand. I’m looking for a smaller M&H or Steinway, preferably golden-age and well rebuilt. I’ve found there are all kinds of resellers out there, particularly in Westchester and environs. I’ve already missed out on some nice ones…those from $15K-$25K sell fast.

I have yet to successfully find something using those music identifiers, but probably that's because I'm always looking for something too obscure.

A small toad has taken residence in the back yard and is driving the dog insane. He’s too quick to get a picture of. Birds are mostly Robins and red-wing blackbirds -very nice. Unfortunately they appear to be feeding at someone’s bird feeder and have distributed Amaranth all over the property. Tough stuff - gonna take a while to get rid of it.
