Future Billy Joel, comin’ up !

Say “guilty pleas”!

He’ll be a whiz on “Chopsticks”!!

Wow, this train is really dragging!

Just learning piano? If he doesn’t know where middle C is, he hasn’t started yet.

Maybe we can finally get Gretchen,Rover’s sister,into the mix.

When they were toddlers,she was taking piano lessons.The last time she had a major arc,it turned out she was playing classical piano for a living;although on an average income.

Next are going to get an endless story about Dr. K. in the London train stations?

The little boy is lying. The first thing you learn is where middle-C is.

He had the key directly pointed out to him and then still got it wrong? Is this kid mentally impaired or something? (though the fact that he’s dressed like an old-timey train conductor should probably answer that question.)

I come here daily to read the boards and look in on GA. Now it’s primarily for one of those two.

I was always taught, “If you can’t say something nice, don’t say anything at all.” Jim can still master some finely detailed scenes.
