It’s just the Piano in me It is most out of tune this song a gate to my despair sharp and flat at once and middle C is stuck it's just not there I never realized the importance of one key until I could no longer play it and now it's too late I will never play that song again |

Some tunes will play themselves without our knowledge or consent. Well written. KJ Through rubble and trouble and dark of night |

who can say then, even knowing that the last song nears and playing is an act of love now, a giving back for honor just a few notes more, a few notes more, until Keep playing, even if only for love. Who knows who will be listening? ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸ ¸¸ºº> ~~~(¸¸ER¸¸ºº> |

This reminds me of something my piano teacher told me once. Let's see if I can remember the word she used--I think it was "vocalize." To ask the tuner to vocalize the felt. (Now if I'm right about her wording, that phrase could be very telling in itself. As for the procedure(to my understanding), the tuner very carefully plucks strands on felt to get a better sound. I enjoyed the depth of this and hope that the song can be transposed to a different key. Good luck to you. miscellanea |

the symphonies played never stay the same, but if we are patient, taking long looks, we can find the key of good sounding music in every concerto, which your entire soul missy is made of....you Martie dear are strengh, eagerness and a marvel. |

There have been times in my life when a key was missing.. "cast me gently into the morning, for the night has been unkind" |
