Mr Steinway Himself Came Down . . .

I played a Samick piano last night. Pretty and shiny, but nothing else to recommend it. The experience did, however, remind me of a favorite joke.

Bob Hope once said that when Phyllis Diller played, "Mr. Steinway himself came down from heaven and rubbed his name off the piano."

That would hurt! But . . . I was thinking . . . how much worse it would be if your playing caused Mr. Samick to come down and remove HIS name from the piano.

Ouch.
