No one can make you play the piano, so don’t. If you want to, you’ll do it on your own timetable.<br /> <br />Now, about the word “pianist”. It has been on the radio a lot because we are having an international jazz piano contest here in Indy sometime soon. So the other day, I have the radio on low, and I keep hearing “penis”. And I thought that was weird. So I turn it up to discover they are not, in fact, discussing genitalia, but musically gifted people (who do turn out to all be men). So now I am on a campaign to change the pronunciation from “pee-un-ist” to “pea-ann-ist”. I think it is going to catch on."JennInAustinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11204200624825757810noreply@blogger.com
