Spinet

I like the piano. 

I can't decide if I feel more natural on a piano or on the horn. My parents started me out on the instrument when I was 5 or so. I began lessons on our Lester Betsy Ross Spinet - a piano real similar to the video posted above. I might be inheriting our family's old piano, so I've been looking it up online lately. Just now I was sitting here trying to decide if I like that, as my friend Vicky put it, "honky talk" sound. 

It's funny, I can't say whether or not I like it, but for some reason it sounds like home. This piano sound is what I grew up with - what I grew up touching with my fingers. I watched this video in particular and thought, "Yep. That's what I played all my Mozart and boogie-woogies on."

All my life I've dreamt of having a home with a real-life piano in it. Whether I get the old Reno piano or find another to write my own history on, it'll be real interesting dissecting the sounds as an adult ...figuring out how it works in the space of my home-to-be ...figuring out how it sounds through a mic. 

And so on.
