Try it, play piano with NO FEET.John Ebatanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7065877439708943201.post-66504918802756015052009-10-11T08:09:27.634-07:002009-10-11T08:09:27.634-07:00Great stuff Bill.

G...Great stuff Bill. Funny in a tragic sort of way.<br />Got to laugh to keep from crying I guess.<br />As you know I haven't given up on promoting the use and maintenance of quality acoustic pianos. Sadly it's a losing battle, but your article goes a long way to summing up what we're up against.<br /><br />I'm not ready to throw in the towel.<br /><br />But I do have my Rhodes which I love playing on gigs. It's with a cartage company, so I use it when needed and only when there's a budget for it. Otherwise, I stay home.Mark Eisenmanhttp://www.jazzpiano.canoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7065877439708943201.post-10797035235941768592009-10-11T06:13:51.581-07:002009-10-11T06:13:51.581-07:00THANK you for this!THANK you for this!Patti Loachhttp://www.pattiloach.comnoreply@blogger.com
