mystery piano and resulting conversation
As of late, my brother and I have been exchanging quirky emails about extremely random subjects. Here is a sampling of what amused us this week:
Brother: Check this out:

Me: oh yeah, well you think THAT'S weird....one time I found a WHOLE FOREST surrounding the piano in my living room. explain THAT.
it only happened once.
but still. it was weird.
Brother: What's your take on the forested piano? If a frustrated player player was involved, wouldn't it have been unceremoniously dumped on the roadside? And why the properly set chair? Maybe someone got all new age, dragged it into a pastoral milieu, then just lost heart--or strength--and walked away?
Me: as for the mystery piano, we all decided it was there for a photo shoot/music video. They just didn't get back there fast enough to get it out in time??????
either that or aliens.
whichever.
Brother: Uh, what does an upright Baldwin cost? It's not a kazoo. I can't imagine anyone just abandoning one in the woods. I'll go with the alien theory and let it rest.
Me: kazoos are more expensive than you might think.
but I'll stick with the alien theory, too.
most likely, they left the piano, took the pianist and were sorry afterward.

Well, maybe those same aliens could drop off a Baldwin (maybe black and more baby-grandish) at Brietta's next time. Then someone will actually sit and play the silly thing!
