marks on plate

[Barbara Richmond]

Yes...well, I cleaned it.  :-)  --though it looks like I missed a crumb or 
something.

It's interesting what tales get told about pianos.  I feel like I'm playing 
one of those games when there's a string of people and the first one 
"whispers a secret" to the next person.  It's almost always funny to see how 
the "secret" has changed by the time it gets to the last person.
