Shoot. It's most likely out of my price range.

It sure is a nice-looking pie-anna.

I can spend hours upon hours at Tate Britain. Tate Modern was *not* worth the very long walk from the Tube station, IMHO.

(BTW, do you know what was on the site of Tate Britain before it was Tate?)

You remember it in much more detail than I do. I was last there in 2002.

I cant rememebr about the site - was it a train station? A factory?

If you think looting is bad wait until I tell you about civil forfeiture.

I don't know that I like the design.. I got to play it and it was superb... Lots of famous musicians signed it, if I remember.

This one might get me to change my mind about cremation, provided the piano was black and the pedestal perhaps light brown granite and grand piano shaped as well, with the legs correctly positioned further back and with a pedal lyre, and Lecuona on the music desk. Too bad my only friend in the bigtime mausoleum business is now in a nursing home with Alzheimers. She lived for a year off the commission on Roy Clark's prepay. No discount for me now.

-hoping they'll just put some piano keys on my tombstone

I think I was there in 2002 (maybe 2003), as well. It made quite an impression on me...but for all the wrong reasons.
