I love that sound. If he recorded an album of him playing that old piano, I'd buy it.

Our upright piano is actually 100+ (if I'm remembering correctly, seems like when we took it apart to refinish it we found a makers mark on it that indicated a 1901 year... or maybe it was 1911 - either way, it's hit the 100 mark). Aside from the fact that it's got a lot of cast iron innards (making it extremely heavy and a pain to move), and the fact that the B flat key just below middle C has an annoying tendency to slip really badly out of tune every few months, I love it.

Anywho, favorite piano players I'm assuming is the name of the game in this thread?

Have to throw in The Piano Guys:

Particularly *the* piano guy of The Piano Guys, Jon Schmidt

Maria Hill: ...Then aliens invaded New York and were beaten back, by among others, a giant green monster, a costumed hero from the 40's.... and a god.

Grant Ward: I don't think Thor is technically a god.

Maria Hill: Well...you haven't been near his arms.

Jemma Simmons: I will say that is one thing that Agatha All Along got right. They did a phenomenal job of planting hints throughout but it not really being obvious until the end. Reminded me of WandaVision that way. Nov 10, 2024 23:03:26 GMT

Jemma Simmons: And yes, I think AoS did such a fantastic job at character/world building. I know that was one of the complaints about Season 1. Nov 10, 2024 23:04:32 GMT

ayanami: Yeah, I wish they'd managed to throw in some Avengers cameos along the way. You know, to keep audience numbers high until the story really took off.
