Claire: Hello again, Haze! I mentioned you in my other blog. I updated it. Hard to maintain 2 blogs at the same time. But, doing my best:)

Claire: I love listening to Piano instrumentals. I just don't know how to play the piano. Maybe I could take lessons someday:) Nice blog, Haze! Adding this to my blogs:)

tracy: never said i could play well by ear! lol i just keep trying...

Hazel Quinn: You can play by ear? You ratbag! I'm so jealous! I've only recently started doing that and I'm useless....you must be naturally gifted.

tracy: I can play afe wthings by ear. Can't read music. Used to play guitar in college, but too hard with my hands now. Piano is so soothing to me!

Hazel Quinn: Tracy, so glad you're learning the piano! SO mnay people say to me "I wish I'd learned" and I tell them to just start!! But that's bloody awful about your poor friend. I'm so sorry.See you again soon...

tracy: I hope you are ok after your scooter fall. That scares me terribly as a close friend of mine passed away when she was trapped under her powerchair. She was only 40. Wow am i the happy tidings girl! It was devastating to me. Now on to better things. Love the piano, actually trying to learn to play.

Hazel Quinn: Hey, I like that story, Marie!Shame they didn't move it from Downing St to me!!

Marie: Hi Hazel, love your site. My claim to piano fame is my brother's in removals and had to move a grand from 11 Downing Street - down stairs. Needless to say, there were many hands that day.

Christopher Plummer's Piano Memories

Actor Christopher Plummer (probably most remembered for playing the Dad in 'The Sound Of Music') has published his autobiography 'In Spite Of Myself'. In it he tells how he was at Montreal High School. He's a good pianist and would show-of on the school's grand. But each day he'd be shoved off the piano stool by "a big black guy with pants that were a bit too short for him".

That 'guy' was Oscar Peterson!
