JamiePiano picture of the day
When I was very young, I remember hooking one of these belonging to my sister up to a hair dryer on cool air at low speed, voila - an organ!!!
I remember the hair dryer blower case was powder blue and puck shaped, about the size of a dinner plate, and about 3 or 4 inches thick. Not unlike this one...
You were supposed to lay it on a table or your lap, and a hose from it went to this bag like thingy you put over your hair to let it dry. I just taped the hose to the mouthpiece of the melodica, hooked it up to the dryer, turned on the power (making sure the heat was off)and pretended I was Rick Wakeham.

From the contest to add captions to the picture:
(names removed)
Sometimes, shooting the piano player is just not good enough........
Every time I pass it I hear it playing "Come on Baby Light my Fire" ......... Please?
"Chopin Wood"
Free firewood by the "chord"
Free Piano: Reclining upright, no strings attached
Lost Keys?
Honey, I put the keys on the piano.
Downright Upright
There was a time when I played piano.........on the side!!!!!!.
Joe: "Know anybody who could use this thing?"
Bubba: "Yep. A good accordion player."
There once was a piano fell flat on its back
yet willing to endure a stint on the rack.
It saw on the net
the Accordian Blast set
and is getting its life on a new track.
WHEW!!! For a moment, I was afraid it was an accordion!
"To the dump, to the dump, to the dump,dump,dump!!!"
.........sang to the lone ranger theme song.........
al fine
(to the end)
Just dropping a few notes from Pamlico County.
Ancient ivorys in the tall green grass
Songs and melodies all have passed
Broken spindles and twisted strings
Death be not proud to even these things
But shed you no tears for my present condition
My song’s in the wind if only you listen.
A strange piano, B-flat on my lawn.
C no one in sight, owner is gone.
D-tached and E-jected from the bed of a truck,
No F-fort to tie down, or just plain bad luck.
Gee...what a shame, wish it were a boat.
Come and get it if you want it,
I'll even throw in a C-note!!!!!............
No longer musically inclined
The piano looks Sharp.
" NEWS EXTRA"
"The Who" crashes Liberace concert
at Brown's Creek pavilion.
I got the downright blues.
I got the lowdown downright off key blues.
I said , "DON"T play it again, Sam!"
"Is That All There Is?"
“Thanks for the memories”
Down and Out....of Tune.
If I can't go to Julliard, I just won't play, so there!!
I TOLD YOU....I DON'T WANT TO PRACTICE ANNNY MORE!!
Please! Take note.
Piano roll blues
Garbage of note
The key to happiness is not in possessions
‘What do you mean it can't be tuned ?
“There was an old piano and they played it hot behind the green door...
And now its history!”
The Call of the Sea
I'm playing a tune on this old upright piano
For my lovely gal, Deanna.
Sitting here looking out the window glass
Tinkling out a song for my fine lass.
While gently stroking these black and white keys
I sit longing for the nearby seas.
I see the sailors from Florence, Whortonville, and Merritt.
I believe I will no longer be able to bear it.
I am packing my bags and abandoning you.
Time has come for a different life and view.
I am leaving to go sail the seas.
There will be no more tinkling the piano keys.
Yes, I must answer the call of the seas
And leave behind Deanna and the piano keys.
Down and Out for the Count ... Two, Three, Four.
I wanna' hear it again, I wanna hear it again, the Ol' Piano Roll Blues!!! (Roll????)
What? You've never heard of the "piano foresail?"
Someone played havoc on the old pianny.
Obviously, during the "Isabel Hurricane Party, the last song played on this piano was "Trying To Reason With Hurricane Season" by Jimmy Buffett (1974)
"Honey, it's gettin' time to mow the piano again."
"It's good to touch the green, green grass of home."
I think the caption should come from the last two
songs played on this fine parlor piece.
"As Time Goes By" and "Don't Get Around Much Anymore"
Beethoven is de-composing and so is his harpsichord !
I am not sure what the song was but if you listen real close you can hear be played backwards. Why you ask?
Because it’s decomposing!
Why can't you "Play it again,Sam ?"
