I'VE TURNED PIANO PLAYING INTO A SIN!!!

Forgive me, Lord, but ever since I got my Mother's Day gift on Thursday, every chance I get, I go and play on my new Yamaha Disklavier C7 grand piano, a Rolls Royce to a TR4 piano hack like me. Whether I'm playing a Mark Hayes hymn arrangement, improvising, or mangling Beethoven's Pathetique, the range of dynamics, the power of the bass, and the tinkling of the higher treble is quite thrilling. How softly can I play, how loud--I don't think I've reached the limits of this exquisite machine--and that's just the manual part. There's the computer part I haven't even explored yet. And I can bang away in silent mode late into the night while the boys soundly sleep undisturbed in the next room. Amazing. It's much too nice an instrument for me but I graciously accept my husband's very generous gift. I think he really loves me!

  1. I do love you. And God loves you. And he loves all of us! Please enjoy your gift and share your gift of music with others when you play at church and elsewhere.

    With love, your husband, John
