Guess who's almost old enough to drink!!

I found a piano with lots of input from the forum in Colorado in 2000 - we were there on sabbatical. Lots of nice piano stores in the Front range. Still have the piano - still play, though not ever as much as I should. This piano - a Charles Walter - has been in a moving van six times since we bought it. From one end of the country to the other and back. They almost flipped it into the garden during the last move.

It comes for you faster than you think it will.

Yeah. Much like an avalanche.

But I'm fortunate that I feel great and have no serious health issues. Exercise and diet has a lot to do with it.

The oldest post of mine in a predecessor of this community was a post in rec.music.makers.piano from 2001.

Wow. I started in 2003.

I started 2months before the coffee room was killed.

The Old Coffee Room was one hoot of a place. It was pretty much a cancer on the Piano World Forum. Poor Frank set up the forum for some informational comradery among people buying and selling pianos and to maybe sell a couple of piano benches and he got a bunch of piano knowledgeable psychopaths constantly tearing each other new ones. I was quite a monster myself in those days. (Sigh.)

Wasn't it fun?

[jodi]

It was fun. Until election time, lol. The two offspring forums have had their share of fun too. Things feel a tad tamer lately.

[Mik]

Much tamer, but then we know each other far better. Many, if not most, of us have met IRL. It's a microcosm of human relations. Much harder to ascribe bad motivations to people you know.
