As happened in many families, when the children grew up and moved away, the baby grand piano sat idle most of its days, and at some point, the large amount of real estate it claimed in the home seemed too much for an inanimate object that was dusted more often than played.Īnd so the piano was gifted to a place where its chords could be heard by many, but over the years, it was relegated to a common space where it became a bit battered and bruised.
With the advent of television in the ’50s, by the next decade, its boxy screen nudged the piano aside to become the centerpiece of the home, as families watched its shows night after night, or crowded around it for the parades and football games of Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years Day.
