Guess who's almost old enough to drink!!

I think the fist time I logged into PW was 2001. I was then considering to upgrade my little Kawai studio piano to a larger upright. As a result of the forum I ended buying a Petrof 135. Wonderful instrument (yes, the sostenuto pedal on the 135 really does work) and it me gave fourteen years of enjoyment. Sold it it 2016 for what I paid for it new in 2001.

Can't remember why I got there. But I recall RMMP on Usenet. I guess I got a link to the piano forum from there. Never remembered Larry or anybody from these current times. But I remember RMMP.

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.
