I love that you made it a goal, and then found a piano! I've never seen the inside of one of those things, but this whole project sounds like a lot of work. Post pictures, please - look forward to seeing that baby on the wall.

"there’s an acclimation that must take place." I've never heard that phrased so perfectly. Yes, an acclimation. From caregiver to creatrix in one's own right. Love you so, Jeanne.

We were treading the same path with this one. From my current post:

“In the ages-long struggle against adversity, the smallest gesture counts. In the midst of the world’s anonymous masses, the most insignificant and unnoticed person is worthy of infinite respect. The most hidden event may alter the course of history forever, and the larger forces pulsing through society…are not the only harbingers of beauty and truth.”

Who knows what music that keyboard will sing?

What an awesome project. Every time I learn something new about you, I shake my head with wonder. If ever there was a person whose ENTIRE being is CREATIVITY, that person is you. And Rene sounds utterly delightful - I wish I'd met her.<br>Love you to bits and bits. Gorgeous. I CANNOT WAIT to see the pic of those keys up on your wall. What an awesome project.
