Hello everyone !

We have just returned from an enjoyable holiday in Newfoundland and Nova Scotia.

Walking on the Halifax waterfront, I spotted this piano, which is covered because of fog and drizzle or RDF (rain, drizzle and fog). It reminded me of home and the piano which sits in front of the Carrot Café. Pianos in public spaces for people to play seems to have caught on across the Country.

Fingers run up and down the keys

#children run back and forth chasing an ocean wave

notes reach a crescendo, then wane

Fingers run up and down the keys

leaping slowly, like mule-deer dancing through the grain

sound stopping on one clear note held low and long

#liketheprairie

Fingers run up and down the keys

a sprinkle of sound like #Depression dust settling to the ground

only to be whisked high and round

into the throbbing drum of combines cutting wheat

Fingers run up and down the keys

staccato horns blaring, laughter lilting

the smooth sound of #jazzy blues mixing with coffee

Fingers run up and down the keys

pounding, then gently, like velvety water rippling

chromatic gulls drifting

#music

#calling, calling

#Playme
