We are planning to have a Piano Party late summer or early autumn.
We would love to get as many of us together as possible.
We are a 75-90 minute drive from Chicago's O'Hare airport. There are a few budget friendly modern travel hotels right off of I-90 in our town. We are 2 miles from I-90. Very easy to find.
We should finalize the date soon. We are thinking about a mid-August to late-September time frame.
Sorry for your loss wtg. /Hug
Awesome!
@Daniel Did you notice the strange looking door frame in that bathroom?
I play my piano. 
I freaking HATE my iPhone! 16 Pro Max.
Worst device I have ever owned. So intrusive and I have everything "turned off". The keyboard absolutely sucks. Especially compared to my Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra.
I have never had more accidental dials in my life. It constantly acts like I want it to listen to me, transcribing full conversations into a text message and the messages app wasn't even open.
Fuck Apple and Really, Fuck the iPhone.
BTW, I work for an Apple Premiere Partner and Authorized Service Center. I support Apple computers in the business world. They suck.
Thank you Chas!
More labels. Ugh. The Baby Boom was a distinct time frame after WWII. period. The term "boomer" I want nothing to do with nor do I share any of the mindset associated with the derogatory term "boomer". If I have to call myself a member of generation Jones to escape such a label I am proud to do so. I know people of the "boomer" mentality that are not even close to be being born during the baby boom or even a Gen-X'er.
Thank you all! I edited the audio and now you should be able to crank it without blowing it or your ears out. lol
I adjusted it so I could turn the volume all the way up on my MacBook Pro using headphones and the listening level is still comfortable.
I just noticed how loud this recording is when you turn up the volume. I need to re-mix it at the very least. It's was recording with just the iPhone's built-in microphone.
A few rough spots but I am using this for learning and I actually made it all the way through it and it's not too bad. 
Very nice SK! I will work on doing some recording soon. I have been working very hard on 3 Chopin pieces myself.
Tomorrow we hit 75. I'm going golfing in the afternoon.
Watched it. I got chills and a little emotional watching that rocket lift off to the moon.
So cool!
I started reading this but, I found myself with little time to do so because I am practicing so much! 
Oh my. Sending good thoughts and hoping that he recovers fully.
You might be surprised at your ability to use the pedal after surgery. I was pedaling the same day of surgery, and every day since my total knee replacement on December 30th. Of course that depends on what type of surgery you have. But, as long as your Doctor approves, I say go for it! Trying to pedal with your left foot might prove to be less than ideal/accurate. Would it be akin to writing left handed if you're right handed?
A one-of-a-kind Shigeru Kawai SK5 has just arrived at Cordogan's!
This custom-wrapped piano was created through a partnership with Heralbony ( ヘラルボニー ) – a Japanese fashion and design company that features the artistry of people with disabilities.
About the artist:
Boston-based Sato first discovered his passion at a summer camp at age 10. He has painted one watercolor piece every single day. He is known for the combination of clear, translucent colors. Sato is also a pianist who enjoyed playing this piano several times during its debut at the recent NAMM Show in Anaheim, California, but he enjoyed seeing others play it more.
My Grandfather is from Greece. My Great grandparents are from Italy. Not sure I would want to live in either country. I considered retiring in Portugal but I would not like being so far from my children.
