My (Growing) Collection Of Antique Piano Music Boxes! I’m A Pianist :p
Final score:
77points
Mary Rose Kent 3 years ago (edited)
I wanted so badly to be a classical pianist, and when I was 11 or 12, a friend of my grandmother needed to get rid of her spinet piano for space reasons and we inherited it. I taught myself how to read music, but I never got quite to where I wanted to be. In my 20s I joined a choir and ended up singing Soprano 1 for 30 years in successively better choirs. I sang Beethoven’s Ninth with the San Francisco Symphony as part of their expansion choir. I got to sing Mahler’s Kindertotenlieder (Songs for Dead Children) with the Berkeley Symphony while Kent Nagano was still its conductor. Maestro Nagano has the most beautiful hands I have ever seen…they’re like butterflies when he conducts.

Singing in any choir is a gift to the listener and to yourself.

I'm obsessed with the music wheels. I worked at a craft store around the holidays and they got snow globes in that were busted like 30 of them. They said I couldn't keep the bases because it was product... But my boss looked at me and said the policy says nothing about the what's inside the base. So I removed all the music wheels and repurposed them

I miss crocheting…I got carpal tunnel and had to give up embroidery, crocheting, and—my deepest love of these three—knitting. During my knitting years, my best friend was also a knitter; she liked working in colors but preferred to just use stockinette, whereas I liked using one color (or yarn that came in variegated colors—I just didn’t want to work with two different yarns at once) but I loved working with lots of open fret work and patterns.

Mary Rose Kent 3 years ago
I would love to encourage you to support Goodwill—they find jobs for people who have been homeless or have been out of the workplace for a long time. They teach people new skills so that they can support themselves. It’s one of the few charities that I support regularly. (I’d support more, but I’m living on a fixed income.)

I love the Carousel Waltz! In fact, your post prompted me to do some research on the musical, and then the next thing I knew, I was looking up all kinds of stuff tangentially related and became lost in a series of Wikipedia links.

I inherited a taxidermy squirrel from my late godfather that I loved (the squirrel and my godfather). My mom did not like the squirrel so one week when I was at camp, she donated it. Fortunately, this is not my former squirrel so I don't have to contact legal counsel on ownership. Cherish your squirrel.
