Just walkin' in, Barbara Just walkin' in! Doesn't take much more when you're
my size with a tool case slung over one shoulder! People assume that
everybody is normal sized like them! I conk my head on more Chandeliers,
swag lamps and assorted stuff hanging from ceilings just above my sight
line.
In the room with too much furniture for you to turn around in, there's the
piano in the darkest corner, always!
