A Dream come True




I remember the first time I walked down the stairs to my first piano lesson in Ohio. My teacher had two pianos. One black shiny upright and a black, shiny baby grand. I dreamed of the day when I would be able to play on the baby grand piano. I loved that piano. Honestly, I think getting to play on that piano kept me going to piano lessons far longer. I've dreamed of owning my own shiny, black baby grand piano and that dream has become a reality. I have been like a kid on Christmas morning. I love it. I love the way it looks. I love the way it sounds. I love playing it. I love seeing the look on the faces of my students when they walk through the door and see it for the first time. I love how excited they are to play it. I have played more since it arrived than I have in months. A dream has come true for me. I only had to wait 35 years for it to happen.
