Yes, we took a little vacation from blogging so that we could really get into blogging. You know, figure it out, learn how to write and not just post pretty pictures. Still working on the "learning how to write" part. In the mean time, a lot has been going on since the beginning of the year. So instead of trying to "catch-up", let's start with this one, an unusual, artistic and fun installment. Here is a link to a the wonderful story about the baby grand: http://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/Piano-sounds-its-last-notes-by-the-ocean-4267465.php
Here is our story:
There is a baby grand piano on the bluff tops above the sea (ocean). A lonely grand piano for every passerby to see. Tickle her ivories, the tune a little off. It won't be long now, before her music will be lost.
An
art installation by a very talented pianist and sculptor. This piano
was donated to him because she could no longer handle a tuning. Every
evening since the 1st of February he has serenaded the setting sun.
Crowds of people gather to watch and listen to the ever fading baby
grand.
The installation was
to last until the end of February, but will be removed by our city
because the proper permits were never issued. Sad!
I
wanted to see the piano and I could not have picked a more perfect day.
There was a young lady sitting and playing beautifully out of tune
music, but it was perfect with the thundering waves crashing below.
Gromit and I stopped and chatted and then we had our turn. Gromit looks
like he is guarding it. We continued our walk and on the way back, a
young man wearing a hoodie who was riding his skateboard earlier was
playing away. It really is incredible!!! I wish you all could see!
