SAYINGS ABOUT PIANO…
“Life is like a piano... what you get out of it depends on how you play it.”
“Love is a piano dropped from a fourth story window, and you were in the wrong place at the wrong time.”
“One man gets nothing but discord out of a piano; another gets harmony. No one claims the piano is at fault. Life is about the same. The discord is there, and the harmony is there. Study to play it correctly, and it will give forth the beauty; play it falsely, and it will give forth the ugliness. Life is not at fault.”
“[The piano is] able to communicate the subtlest universal truths by means of wood, metal and vibrating air.”
“A lawyer's relationship to justice and wisdom is on a par with a piano tuner's relationship to a concert. He neither composes the music, nor interprets it-he merely keeps the machinery running.”
Now the "prince" has revealed his new look - with hair shaved off.
"It is very environmentally friendly," Kong said, smiling. "I never need to use shampoo or a hair dryer!"
The real reason for the change is that Kong started to lose his hair.

HOW TO PLAY PIANO...
You have to have the proper mind set.
FIRST, you've got to STOP blaming yourself.
You don't have to be PERFECT every time. You DON'T have to be the BEST player, today.
AND, you don't have to LISTEN to what other PEOPLE say about your playing - PEOPLE who are only half listening, and don't care the way YOU do.
Put all that out of your mind.
What matters is YOUR desire to play piano as well as possible.
piano..
The piano is a musical instrument which is played by means of a keyboard. Widely used in Western music for solo performance, ensemble use, chamber music, and accompaniment, the piano is also very popular as an aid to composing and rehearsal. Although not portable and often expensive, the piano's versatility and ubiquity have made it one of the most familiar musical instruments.
Pressing a key on the piano's keyboard causes a felt covered hammer to strike steel strings. The hammers rebound, allowing the strings to continue vibrating at their resonant frequency.[1] These vibrations are transmitted through a bridge to a sounding board that couples the acoustic energy to the air so that it can be heard as sound. When the key is released, a damper stops the string's vibration. Pianos are sometimes classified as both a percussion and a stringed instrument. According to the Hornbostel-Sachs method of music classification, it is grouped with Chordophones.
The word piano is a shortened form of the word pianoforte, which is seldom used except in formal language and derived from the original Italian name for the instrument, clavicembalo [or gravicembalo] col piano e forte (literally harpsichord with calm and strong). This refers to the instrument's responsiveness to keyboard touch, which allows the pianist to produce notes at different dynamic levels by controlling the speed with which the hammers hit the strings.
