Re: What good is an old piano?
Tom's piano works, but given the advances in sensor technology (which can be made trivially waterproof) and digital techniques, there's no reason the old beast pictured couldn't be reworked to sound as good as new and retain its new-found verdance.

The logical conclusion of Flower Piano which was held here last month. http://sunsetpiano.com/flower-piano/
This was the occasion of my first extended wearing of the skirt in public which has now gone on to full time skirt wearing on non-work days.

Hi Guys,
I've been away for a week out of WiFi range and missed your posts. They also put flower beds in old boats, too, which makes them just as useful as that grand piano.
That 'Sunset Piano' programme is nothing short of fabulous, Stuart. I admire the weather you have, which allows such an instrument to be out of doors for days on end. Such an ambitious classical list really could do with a three-legged instrument to do it justice.
It'll be (I hope) a very long time before anyone will plant flowers in my 128 year-old Bechstein!
