A Chopin nocturne for a friend

Recently, Roaring Lion’s new drummer Bojan said he loves Chopin nocturnes. So when I was between students, I played Nocturne in E flat for him.

Piano Man – taking the panel off my Beale

I removed the front panel of my Beale piano! I thought it would be fun to see all those moving hammers. Some of my students don’t know what’s inside an old-fashioned piano, so I played a short version of Billy Joel’s ‘Piano Man’, the quintessential pub piano bar song, for my kids.

Here are a few posts about my old Beale, which was made in Australia, in 1951.

What’s in this blog?

I write about people I meet in Queensland, Australia. They might be creatives, or entrepreneurs, or community leaders. I also blog a bit about the things I do. I live in the countryside and out here, my piano students might own horses or cows! All this is new and wonderful to me. Welcome to my little world.
