- Only one house in my street had no piano - mine. This is the story of how my Dad got me a piano and delivered it home. He was employed by English Electric which meant he knew a great many people who could help solve nearly any problem, including obtaining a piano and transporting it to our house.
Paul, just recently discovered your content, you are inspirational, thank you for making your videos so clear and easy to understand, well done
Thank you Nicola - I'm trying my best to keep the sound clear for you.

Nice story Paul - John
Thank you John. There's too much bad news about, so I think the occasional little escape can be a good thing.
@@paulwwells good point Paul, I really ought to visit MK again
@@twogitsinacar4811 Tell me if you do visit.
@@paulwwells I will for sure Paul
Your channel was a wonderful discovery for me! Thank you for the terrific music!
Hi Paul I remember those locked pianos I was itching to learn but unfortunately none of my family were musical and the piano teacher was a nasty piece of work who would smack you for the least indisgression at 16 I bought and old German upright which had a nice tone
I borrowed a self teaching book from the library and taught myself to read music. It was very laborious but I did learn cockles and mussels at the end of the book I used a church hall piano with broken keys here and there
I had a grand piano but due to divorce Now I have a knight school piano bought for twenty pounds. Extremely good
I now play classical but not great because I never had the proper teaching only a local one who wasn't that good. I've since taught myself also using yt piano teachers etc
I've since bought and sold about twenty pianos
I've learnt a few chopin etudes so haven't done too bad
I have learnt your clare music by Gilbert O Sullivan. Nowhere near as good as you though
Thank you for your comment ciara. Locked pianos were the most annoying thing. The bolt would slide out then sideways as the key was turned, I don't know if you remember that detail. Yes, it was a fight to get near a decent piano, but amazing whenever you got the chance. I am more than happy to help teach any song to you, just send a private message.
Your story is amazing and you are very talented! I have been following you for over a decade.
Thank you Alim. I am very happy that you are still watching my videos after such a long time and that you are interested in the back story about how I started making music.
@@paulwwells, I look forward to listening more to your new music.
God bless man, youre cool!
Thank you Alex. I'm discovering that it's cool to stop pretending to be cool.
71 was a great year . . . .I was born :)
You get a twinge when you hear your own birth year mentioned. That fragile time when you were 100% dependent upon others to sustain your existence.
Great story.
I love delivery pianos to houses with the young person who really is looking forward to having Their own piano. Its great to visit year after year and get to hear their progress
Keep the tunes flowing
Yes - I had a feeling you would relate to this story 😀
