Finally viewed a performance of Ravel's La Valse. I have the piano solo, piano duet, and 2 piano 4 hands arrangements, but never had the honor, pianistic mastery or a capable piano partner willing to invest time to perform this work. I've known this piece for over 50 years and it continues to inspire. Was dedicated by Ravel to Johann Strauss II.

Please boost if you:
- like pianos!
- like to read well-written non-fiction!
- like to support writers!My friend Scott is “the piano tuner for all the great jazz and classical pianists in Vancouver.” He’s almost finished writing his book about “the secret life of pianos.” I’m helping him promote the book pre-publication because I want him to be focussed on writing not marketing. I really really want to read the final chapters! (The book has been a fun and informative read so far.)
To get an advance copy of the first chapter, free, please see http://dontshootthepianotuner.com

“The rebuilt Steinway B passes muster at Frankie’s. Piano tuner escapes being shot once again… for now.”
The life -and the mysteries- of a piano tuner, always under the gun of some famous (or not so famous) pianist, jazz club, concert hall.
Can you imagine?
Of course you can’t!
It’s beyond imagining. That’s why MS Harker is writing (almost done!) his book on the “secret life of pianos.”

PIANOS HAVE A “SECRET LIFE?” 🎹 ✍️
My good friend Scott is writing about “the secret life of pianos.” He’s the guy who makes sure visiting (& resident) pianists (jazz & classical) in the greater Vancouver area have tuned & tune-worthy rigs. He’s also a heck of a writer.
I’ve read the recent draft of this book and I’m keen to read more —and to share it. DM me if you’re interested. Or get it via http://dontshootthepianotuner.comps. This pic is by Scott.

Here’s another of my many tinklings on the @manchesterjazzfestival pianos, performing That Ole Devil (recorded by Billie Holiday and Alison Moyet among others) at @factory_international ’s Aviva Studios, in Manchester.

I had a lot of fun a few years ago, holed up in a remote cottage in the Lake District with some recording equipment and a bunch of different outfits. I turned myself into a one-woman choir, with a different outfit for each vocal part. This is one of the videos I made, of a short snippet of Big Dipper by @eltonjohn - chosen because of its wonderful harmonies.

I’m Gonna Leave You is one of my favourite Nina Simone songs (I love Nina so much), one of the ones she sings with pure attitude. On this occasion I had a go at performing it on one of the @manchesterjazzfestival pianos, at @factory_international ’s Aviva Studios, in Manchester.

Hubby Ally and I thought it’d be fun to perform Abba’s Mamma Mia as a ballad. I really love this take on the old classic. Recorded on one of our annual holidays on a remote hilltop in the Lake District, with a crackling real fire in the background.

Still researching the Gegner/Gegna family of musicians (originally #Ukrainian #klezmer family but became classical string players and emigrated to Germany/USA). Kinda cute photo of the cellist brother of the family, Mischa Gegna, during his 1926 PNW tour, with pianist Susie Michael.

No matter how it might appear, we menopausal women are often seething masses of insecurities. Our best friends know this, and know exactly what to say to make us feel good!
This was my best friend Katy boosting me up after my appearance on @ThePianoUK (episode 5 of season 2).
