Dear Cancer, Stop taking my friends. You took the third one in as many years yesterday. Enough already.

Get your motor runnin'

Head out on the highway

Lookin' for adventure

And whatever comes our way

Yeah Darlin' go make it happen

Take the world in a love embrace

Fire all of your guns at once and

Explode into space

 

I like smoke and lightning

Heavy metal thunder

Racin' with the wind

And the feelin' that I'm under

 

Like a true nature's child

We were born, born to be wild

We can climb so high

I never wanna die

harps are more expensive than i'd guessed

harps are more expensive than i'd guessed 

Good musical instruments in general are very expensive.  Its "supply and demand"  Electrical instruments have taken over.  Demand for acoustics is down, price is up and it feeds a self defeating spiral.  It's no wonder fewer and fewer young people are going the traditional acoustical musical instrument route.  Ever priced a set of cymbals lately?  A good flute?  A non-toy guitar?  How about a contra-basson?  Try finding a quality gong.  And forget things like a proper grand piano unless you want to trade in your car.  It used to be that most homes in small town America had a piano.  Now a kid can go their whole school life and never see one except in the school.

Electrics have their place but nothng surpasses the quality sound of a good acoustic instrument.  Unfortunately, good acoustic instruments require continual care and maintenance.  A good piano tuner is becoming hard to find and ain't cheap if you find one.

Ever heard of the "7 day no complaining challenge"?

This can't be healthy.

Sort of like holding your farts in, it's still got to go somewhere.

Better to just let it out I say.

I doubt most homes had even a baby grand - more likely an upright.

I see that Feminine Touch for Genesis is free today.  I thought I already bought it.  Maybe I am thinking of elite body shapes for Victoria 4?  I own that.

That's terrible.  And such a pain to go without until the new one is in.  I sympathize with you.

True, but the homes with a neophite contrabassoonist were especially blessed with practice sessions rattling the pictures off the wall and making the milk sour.

Non-complaint:  Whee, I won!  My pair of jade trees came up in the on-line auction and I won the bid.  Nobody else bid and I got it for minimum bid of $25  Yea!  A similar single tree but with "peaches" on it went for $200 two items earlier, but I'm happy with my simple leafy trees as shown below.   Now, I'll have to pay auctioneer fee of 25% and then shipping probably an exorbitant $30 or $40 but I finally, after years of desiring one, have a jade tree.  I just hope I don't have to deal with a recalcitrant auction house not wanting to give it up for minimum bid like has happened to me twice before.   I won't count my chickens until the eggs hatch.

My grandmother had a baby grand and an upright, mom had an upright. We loved to get beside the grand and watch the hammers. We all played either flute, trumpet or/and french horn, but my kids all play electric everything, even keyboard. I do miss the acoustic sound even though they can tease some pretty amazing effects out of those eletric guitars.

My mother got me a used spinet piano (short upright) when I was 7.  I took lessons until I was about 15.  I play OK but I'm not really a muscian.  I bought myself a new Yamana tall upright after college.  Later I had a Hammond B2 organ too, then I found a Knabe 8-foot rosewood grand piano built in 1880 and added that to my menagerie.  Had the grand for a few years but sold it to a cousin who had a big enough house for it.  My last piano was a Technics 88-key electric piano (weighted keys, grand sound, very close to a real piano touch & sound) purchased new about 1990.  I've since come on hard times and had to sell it.  So, I've been pianoless for 16 years now.   I've thought about getting another piano but I'm 70 now, I haven't played in 16 years, I've been there, done that, and I can't sit upright that long anymore without leaning on my elbows.  It's just so much easier to play my CDs.
