Finding this wonderful old sheet music from another era took me back in my memory to when in my childhood at family gatherings there was always a group round the piano.
Making your own entertainment with piano music is a marvellous talent and I guess because I was brought up with it it has always been something I enjoy.
I am from the North and so often you would find someone on the piano at the pub. There was a favourite coffee house called the " Coffee Pot " that had wonderful jazz piano at night , and my Auntie used to love to go out for tea and there was nearly always a piano on those occasions.
I know what you mean Linda, even being a Southerner, I remember the days when people made their own music in pubs & cafes, or even at each others houses when I was younger. It was always something that encouraged community spirit and simple pleasure at sharing. Something we could do with reviving in these times! xx
