Excellent choice of words in this piece you have penned. It says so much to your readers and runs fast-paced all the way to the end. Bravisimo!!!

Barbara, I found myself listening intently for the music. I loved the images, the beat, and the sense of playing a piano. Great Job!

I often listen to jazz and blues while writing, so this piece of yours was something I could relate to...and it made me smile. Excellent work!

Your rag-time jazz is delightful. Something like this makes me weep that I didn't kee3p taking those lessons. Without an ear and a skill for playing an instrument, I have for all adult years, been a music hungry man. I like it all... except for that hard candy the young'uns call, Rock or whatever. Am embedded in classical compositions, but can't quite take some of the more strident ones coming along. I can just see your whole body responding to play the Grand... even the bench is tested in those purposeful bumps as fingers set the tempo! Way to go, Barbara! ! ! - Bill
