Me banging out some tunes in the Estonia piano booth at the NAMM show...
I really enjoyed listening to that. I was quite surprised with the sound of a piano that old!. It sounded great! Does anyone know the composer to that piece? Is it a rag/jazz piece? It sounds pretty much both.

Thanks for the kind words, Googlism. I think it sounds pretty good for a $20.00 piano that was 300 cents flat when I got it. It cost $65.00 to have it moved and $15 for the materials to put the Miller player action back in operating condition. So for $100.00 total, I have a working almost antique player. You might be interested in knowing that the recording was made 10 months after a tuning. I think it holds tuning pretty good.
Bryant, what a wonderful sounding piano! I love the way you played the song, too! I really like that kind of music. I'll answer your e-mail in a minute.
Half of a letter Tells half a story The way I see it It's half the worry Where I came from I forgot too soon... East of the sun And west of the moon
Money talks And hey, I'm listening I've lived without it Enough to miss it Where I'm going I'll get there soon East of the sun And west of the moon
Ooh, never gonna get there later You know, I wanna get there soon Never gonna get there, baby On a desert road to home East of the sun And west of the moon
Another day leaves me aching I try to wake up But something's breaking Here inside me Deep and hollow A sound that no other sound could follow I know the pain Before the wound East of the sun And west of the moon
Bryant... what a way to start my Sunday morning listening to this song. My eyes fill with tears once again & I sob once more over the loss of my mother knowing how sweetly she would have sung this song. As difficult as it is to hear "her" music I thank you (& Frank) for stirring up beautiful, memorable thoughts of her on a Sunday morning. We almost always spoke around this time on Sunday mornings if I wasn't down there visiting with her. I'll just accept this as a visit from her. It sort of reassures me that her (& just recently my dad) are together once again and she wants me to know they are fine.
