Sitting under the piano (more)

[Farrell]

Where on earth is this thread going? I'm sittin' here with images of a 30-some-years-distant college flophouse Saturday night at 2:00 AM (Sun. morn.) laying on the floor with head between a pair of three-foot tall Advents with Dark Side of The Moon blasting (wasn't into classical at the time - wish I was though - I missed a lot!).

Ok, back to this un-reality. I have done the under-piano thing also. It does sound lovely. Very intense. Kinda too loud sometimes. But it certainly does engulf you. Boy, you might want to reach for the earplugs if you do it  with Rachmininoff in concert!
