#1: Cynthia Lynn McDaniel (mcaardva) on May 5, 2010 [SPOILER]

I was just going to whine about not knowing what the image was, when the candelabra on the grand piano popped out at me!

light em up Cynthia

it looks like the candle thing is holding up the piano top

or bugaboo, mr candle is being held up (hands in the air)

haha

My piano lessons were so disturbing and surrealistic that I used to shudder at the thought of playing. There was the savage barking dog I never saw once in 5 years. There was the atonal mystery of Bartok's Mikrokosmos, where correct notes sounded very similar to mistakes. But worst of all was the ticking of the metronome combined with the print of Salvodor Dali's "The Persistence of Memory" hanging over the piano. http://www.artchive.com/artchive/D/dali/persistence.jpg.html

hugggs for Francie

Thanks Tom.

I can see Liberace sitting at the piano... :)

Wow, Francie, there's definitely a short story in that!

My life is a series of short stories. Unfortunately, just as I lacked the self-discipline to practice the piano, I also lack the self-discipline to write.

(Okay, I admit it, it's self-confidence I lack.)

Francie, life is a series of short stories, some cool, some yuckie! Just sit and let the pen at hand do its job, then, iffin you like, draw us a picture. :-)

A little too narrow to be a good image, howevwe I enjoyed the solve. It was not predictable until the last stairstep line.

thanks black cat... maybe i should start doing larger puzzles

Okay, but don't abandon the small ones. I'm addicted.

Oh, Francie, that's terrible. Several years ago, my son Chris came to me as a teenager and said, "Mom, I want to learn to play the piano... but I don't want to take piano lessons." I handed him a piano lesson book, and he taught himself. A few years later he had composed enough songs to make a CD Here's one song:

I'm glad now that I didn't push him to take lessons.

That's great Teresa. Thanks for sharing.

Fortunately my flute and recorder teachers were much better and I was able to play in band, orchestra, and a few early music ensembles.

Oh good.

This puzzle gave me fits, until I realized there were only 4 rows at the bottom. /facepalm

Very nice song, Teresa.

Thanks, Beth.
