Why Universities are shy about placing little printed
reminders about how to treat a piano in the practice
rooms is a mystery to me! "Political Correctness", I
suppose......
But anyone who would be offended by a reminder to
WASH THEIR HANDS before playing a piano, and to NOT
EAT while playing is an ignorant jackass who DESERVES
to be offended !!!!!
( And should be in Kindergarten, not a University! )
