I came accross this photo of a piano that had long been retired about the time I had renewed a friendship from my school days. Looking at the lonely piano and its gathered dust and a few remnants of its life of yesterday I could only wonder of its unforgetable friends who no longer occupied a place in the piano's life other than a passing memory.Where did those days go? I would appreciate your comments on this piece and perhaps some sugestions on a title for it. I don't think the digital photo does the piece justice because it was framed under glass so there are some unwanted glare and reflections. .09 Mechanical Pencil using 2B lead on 300 series Strathmore 70lb paper Copyright

Luther such beautiful work! Happy memories frozen in time. It is amazing how this piano made so many friends at one time. What joy it must have provided. This makes me smile. Outstanding work my friend!Marcel LorAnge 13 Apr 2006
Oh the stories it could tell you if only you would take the time to listen closely. The swinging nights it accumulated among friends, some of six strings others of four while entranced dancers wore out the wooden floor. The reeds that whispered and screamed right until the break of day as hard wood sticks beat the skins. Who would ever believe the life that once was his? Now he just sits there consumed in memories with his yellowed keys. Unpretentious piano, Ah, but I knew you when...Armando Salas 13 Apr 2006
