My Early Christmas Present

[rockinlibrarian]

Today I got a piano!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's amazing, the house feels suddenly More Like a Proper House. I didn't even realize I wasn't living in a Proper House for the past six years, but I wasn't. The piano totally fills out the living room. It feels COMPLETE now.

I hadn't seen it before I got it, but it not only is in great shape and looks perfect in my living room, it's also miraculously nearly in tune. Not perfect, but enough that you can play it without cringing.

The kids both love it too. Sam has always been an obvious music lover, but Maddie is apparently even more into MAKING music-- she was singing along even! As much as, you know, an 8 month old CAN sing.

Thank you, Bethany, Mom W, Dad, and the piano moving guys. This is absolutely the awesomest Christmas present I've gotten since, you know, that Christmas (or two days later) when I got a husband. And the piano doesn't even rant about dirty hippies!

The founder of the Baldwin Piano Company was in fact named Dwight Hamilton Baldwin. I do not know, however, if he was handsome, rich, or snobby. I think it would be better to switch the character's name around to Baldwin Hamilton, because "Baldy" is a better nickname.

Baldwins are good pianos - I'm not as familiar with the Hamilton models, but as far as I know Baldwins are among the best, especially if it's been cared for (as in, kept in a house and not left in someone's garage or basement for years). It sounds like you have a GREAT piano! I look forward to trying it out someday.

I did consider Baldwin Hamilton as an even possibly better character name, actually, but I never thought of "Baldy." That would be awesomer.
