Our house will be full of friends and family once again. Episode 100 will be broadcast live from our new home on the brand new piano from Cooper Piano. To make it even more special, I had started a Piano Happy Hour every Saturday at 5 pm over Facebook live at the very beginning of the pandemic, and I have done 99 episodes. Now, as we settle in to our new home in South Bend, I am expecting the Schimmel to be delivered any day now. Cooper allowed me to trade in my Kawai, and even rolled in the cost of out of state delivery, as we were in the middle of a move to Indiana. I knew this piano was the one for me, and I continued to play it for almost an hour. I sat down and played "They say that falling in love is wonderful " by Irving Berlin. ![]() He showed us to a beautiful Schimmel piano. There was an instant bond like we had known him a very long time. I brought my husband with me to Cooper to meet Ian. I knew then and there that I needed to meet with him, because my husband has Parkinsons and I felt a strong sense that there were spiritual forces guiding these circumstances far beyond the potential sale of a piano. I asked him if he played piano and he said yes, as occupational therapy for Parkinson's. He understood immediately and said there was a piano there that might be perfect. not just an instrument, but an extension of me. I called Cooper and spoke with Ian and explained what I was looking for. It sounds fine and everyone loves it, but it didn't touch my soul the way I knew a piano could. While I love my Kawai, it wasn't my dream piano. ![]() I received an email from Cooper Piano about trading in my existing piano for something better.
