Earlier in my blog I posted a photo of a bike I had when I was 13 or so.   To stay on the subject of things or people that meant something to me in life.

Even though my musical tastes have since matured I still love this photo of Jimmy Page playing at Earl’s Court in 1975.

Using his bow.

I can't wait to have you in my Man Cave

Today the piano we had gotten through Freecycle was taken away by yet another disappointed Freecycle user.   When we began looking for a piano, it never occurred to me that my sister would be willing to give me hers which is the piano shown above.  Instead we took the first piano that came out way through Freecycle and sight unseen with very little description we enlisted my nephew to come help us move it.  His first thought when we saw it was the same as mine.  “What an ugly piano” I thought.  We took it though, we had committed and did our best to think of it in a positive light.  Actually it just occurred to me looking through my files that it was so ugly, we never took a picture of it.   That’s funny enough right there so I’ll stop.   Soon enough, we’ll have the piano above.
