Sunday Stills - Music

I live surrounded by music. Tractors running, birds chirping, wind blowing through the pine trees and dried seed pods hanging from our redbud trees. Sitting out in the field listening to the sheep munching grass all around me or chewing cud in the barn. Blossom calling to me as I head to the house at night "Come back, we can sleep on the cot." 

On Sunday mornings Weaslie and I head to Paris, Kentucky, to play the piano for a small country church that welcomes everyone and their house cat (or dog, sheep, horse, spider, honey bees). On Sunday afternoons "Jay Cutler throws another interception!" is frequently music to my ears ;-).


This is my beloved old piano.  Well, my beloved church piano.  My house piano is beloved as well.  Both are old and a little "plinky".  Just a little.  This piano was built in 1907 and has played week in and week out for more years than anyone can remember.


And it has a picture of Lila up top.


With a great view as I sit waiting for my next cue.


And while a couple folks would like to "upgrade" it for one of them there new fangled pie-annas, it's an old friend and it knows it's safe with me :-).

My piano is old also...1890. It was Terry's grandmother's. When we pass, Misty will get it.
