"My main instrument is piano - I have four - a beautiful 1912 Steinway Grand, an almost as beautiful 1872 Square Grand, another beautiful Square Grand that is best described as a beautiful white elephant since it is not playable.. and a not so beautiful old upright. At one time I had 5 pianos, but gave my treasured 1951 spinet piano to my granddaughter, who cherishes it as much as I did. I seem to be gaining on dulcimers at an alarming rate as well since I will soon be receiving my 4th - couldn't resist Folkcraft's amazing resonator dulcimer:-) Life is Good and Music is a great Blessing!!"
