I just love music infact I have played the piano since I was five.  Do you play any musical instruments?
I do play instruments. I play the piano and used to play a variety of brass isntruments.
Fascinating.  I have never tried brass.  I love the sound of the piano. It was invented in Italy b Barolomeo Cristofori around the year 1700.  I cant believe it is that old!
