    I was making my usual rounds to get some free samples when I saw that Costco had some grand pianos on display. The Yamaha rep was awesome, extremely nice, and was cool with letting me try out the piano, so I decided to play my 5th level of Beethoven Virus.

    I remember some years ago I was on the DC Metro and some guy was playing violin at the station, and it sounded amazing. My only regret was I was running late to meet someone and didn’t stick around for more than maybe 2 minutes, because I found out later he was Josh Bell, one of the most famous violinists in the world. Sometimes we really should stop and listen to the music in our lives.

    I wish one of the many Costco’s I have visited had a display like this so I could have tried these pianos. I suspect this was a special sale event but the space that was dedicated to these baby grands was amazing. On very rare occasions I have seen a minimal spinet size model tucked away amongst the furniture displays but no bench on which to try even that let alone talk to a salesperson about it. This pianist was very lucky to find such a wonderful setup. Nicely played!

    i like to see strangers putting smile on other strangers' faces especially on a time like this. As adults we forget to be kind to one another, we become more cautious which is natural but no matter what be kind to everyone around you and you will see reality in a different light. We rise by lifting others up.

      @@samhyde2339 it really shouldn’t be difficult to understand my point. There are people who appreciate and notice beautiful things like music, art, nature, friendship, etc. and there are many who really are oblivious to some degree as they pursue mundane chores.
      I’m perplexed by it. That’s a valid observation. If you want to project snobbery on my position, go for it.
