The Piano

I have always loved the piano. My parents bought an old upright when I was six years old, and I have studied music and voice for most of my life. This has been my passion, and I cannot imagine life without it. I acquired a 1913 Brambach baby grand about 30 years ago, had it restored, and still enjoy it every day. I dedicate this gallery to my piano, a friend throughout my life, in troubled times and in good times.
