Maybe you can teach Riley how to pedal it.<br /><br />Lawrence Welk was the only TV show my step-mother would watch. I remember Welk dancing the polka on the show. That is a great workout, and probably one reason he stayed in such good physical condition for so long.<br /><br /><br />Recent blog post: <A HREF="http://edfromct.wordpress.com/2009/05/10/music-videos/" REL="nofollow">Music Videos –</A>Ednoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3416269008311217146.post-50842354956506135192009-05-11T17:33:00.001-05:002009-05-11T17:33:00.001-05:00He is the cutest little stinker. :) And obviously ...He is the cutest little stinker. :) And obviously we <I>did</I> kill that thing!!!<br /><br />Recent blog post: <A HREF="http://gitzengirl.blogspot.com/2009/05/pedaling-piano.html" REL="nofollow">Pedaling the Piano</A>gitznoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3416269008311217146.post-7461340338858709652009-05-11T17:28:00.001-05:002009-05-11T17:28:00.001-05:00Oh my gosh!

I tried to get ours fixed and when I finally found someone who even knew about it, he said it would cost about 5,000 to fix it! We also had probably a hundred rolls of music in their original boxes. I gave the piano away and kept only one roll for sentimental reasons. <br /><br />I felt bad for 5 minutes after it was gone (we just didn't have the space for such a big piece of furniture), then I got over it and put my church pew in it's place! <br /><br />I wish I had kept more music, I would have sent it to you! <br /><br />Recent blog post: <A HREF="http://nancygrayce.blogspot.com/2009/05/mothers-day-2009.html" REL="nofollow">Mother's Day 2009</A>Nancygraycenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3416269008311217146.post-3743078613071678782009-05-11T14:17:00.001-05:002009-05-11T14:17:00.001-05:00I remember my aunt and uncle having a player piano...I remember my aunt and uncle having a player piano.
