was meticulous about her dress, and house keeping . Unfortunately,
she had problems <br>
playing without music, so her repertoire became limited. I
have a good friend in the music <br>
business who says that he has trouble playing "when" reading
music. ( Ditto me !! ) I'm also<br>
a slow book reader. ( Pictures are good !!!) Youse
think this is a sign of shtoopidity ?? <br><br>

<font face="arial" size=2>I was watching "Great Balls of Fire"
last night, about Jerry Lee Lewis. I noticed that in a few of the
grands they had set up in the movie (which I presume were set up the same
way as they were in real life for the guy), the fallboards had been
removed. Of course with his hands flying all over the keyboard, and
especially when playing while standing, it's easy to see how fingers
colliding with a fallboard could be problematic. I've had the
fallboard removed from my piano for a long time, and although it looks
ugly that way, I have to admit it feels nice to have the extra room,
especially since I play pretty deeply into the
keys.</font></blockquote></blockquote></blockquote><br>
