Yeah, Piano!

That will have to go where I was going to set up my recording workstation, after I move the big fancy church organ out to make room (Rogers 32B,? beautiful organ but no speakers and a minor problem with the input power circuit (power supply circuit, could be as simple as a bad switch). It's not difficult to fix but with no speakers I don't have the incentive.? ?I gave it away to some friends who have leslies and a studio.

I know where middle C is and how to cross fingers playing up and down the keyboard and I can read a bit of sheet music.? My fist learning attempt was 'Whiter shade of Pale' by Procol Harem, a beautiful classic from 1967.? I was doing very well until I trashed that previous organ (I mean I had to get rid of it because it was junk and to make for this real big one I have now. It's made by a company who makes those huge Pipe Organs for Cathedrals and churches and I believe they have their organs in Radio City Music Hall and the Royal Albert Hall, so this is not no dimestore organ here! Out it goes tho- I don't have the room nor the money for speakers AND my apartment is too small for it.

It will be be awesome to crank that beauty up though.? I can hardly wait until it's in my friends'? studio and fixed.? I'll learn something cool and then go over and play it.

I would love to have and play a piano more than any other instrument I thin,k- for song writing, etc. I will have to get one- a real piano not electronic gizmos.? Old pianos are cheap and often FREE where I live.? Just have to find one that is either playing decently or needs only minor repair.

Check out 'Professor Longhair', great New Orleans piano player, I like the song 'Hey Now Baby'.

The only other piano piece I have now is Blues in E Flat by Fats Waller.

I am kinda on the poor side of town here.

Would love that piano though.

Maybe I will catch up to you later on this piano topic.? It's? 5:26 am here and I have been up all night
