Dennis Parker, Cellist/Sculptor
Have you ever felt like just putting the old violin to the band saw, an axe to the piano, or simply turning a half-sized fiddle into a cockroach? If you are like most musicians, you hit the highs and the lows on a fairly regular basis. Having a hobby is a great way to get away from the frustrations of practice and performance anxiety.

The hoity-toity savants from the Academy in their fine robes are free to scoff. They would have us believe that pianos don't sprout, they fall from the sky during thunderstorms and meteor showers and embed themselves in the soil.

So we do not much mind the southerlies last week, and the torrential rain, for we know that wet soil and thunderstorms are always followed soon after by a bumper crop of pianos such as will stave off starvation until Spring.

Commonly known as a Glass Harmonica or glassarmonica. Marie Antoinette played one. Ben Franklin is credited with modernizing it.
