Warm Winter Nights

Thoughts by the fire place

 

Piano

Most of my friends know that I love piano. Not that I can really play it, I did have some lessons in another life but was too young to know that you have to do the same exercises over and over again before you can actually play anything, so I got fed up and dropped it.

But there are few things that please me most than to listen to some piano piece. I just forget everything around and stay there completed focused on the hands moving over the ebony and ivory, identifying every note, decoding every message and feeling a peace not easily reached any other way.

TP, my lil bro, just appeared the other day at his bar in Paradisus-Portucalis with his new toy… guess what? A piano! A gorgeous piano with place for two people playing together.

SL was a mess that day (what else is new?) and we couldn’t teleport anywhere and no one seemed to be able to reach us in Portucalis (thankx LoL for SIM restarts), so we just sat  there and played for more than an hour to the few friends gathered around us.

I hadn’t such a lovely night in a long time. We will repeat that for sure and this time in a proper place and – if the Linden Gods allow it – in a better SL day. Thank you bro.

piano….

I play piano in RL. I took lessons during 13 years. I love the sounds of the piano. I have a piano in SL, with a lot of sit positions and a big sort of songs. I have rezzed it in my home at Portucalis for joiness of all when I had a home. Now it is in my inventory…waiting… i’m a homeless…. I’ve been playing piano in other places. My profile picture is me playing piano…as you all can see.

Marga, I will never forget that you played piano for me and siss at our rezzday ball.
As for RL, howcome you never played for us? Next time you will have to play! You better be prepared to have someone looking behind your shoulder while you play :P

Well, Win… my RL piano is at my parents’ home… Unfortunately the RL inventory doesn’t work like our SL inventory! :-)

But, your post and the comments made here had an effect on my feelings! So … yesterday I’ve rezzed my SL piano in the middle of the forest at Realidades Paralelas, in Portucalis. :-)

Enjoy it as much as I did last night!

Thanks Win! :-)
