They KNEW they were genuine, Mason & Hamlin keyblocks, but they
were really tired of not being allowed to play the piano themselves!
Always a bridesmaid, never a bride.

Actually, one held back, shyly. Only the left one <grin!> decided
to go for it. Have you seen the PBS clip where a goldfish sees
some salmon jumping up a waterfall on the TV, and gets ideas?
Hops and jumps and leaps from bowl to street to big water bottle, and ends
up in the Columbia with the salmon, flailing away at the
waterfall? This keyblock had that kind of foredoomed determination
to make music ... twice. For a first attempt, it came up with a very
musical pattern. (Maybe we should give it lessons ...)
