three on thursday - strike up the band

when did I take this photo?

maybe

 it was last summer 

maybe the summer before that 

I dont remember 

I do know where it was taken

 in front of 

Prohibition 

on 

Columbus Avenue 

at one of the summer's 

street festivals

So nosy bloggers want to know

do you now 

or 

did you ever 

play an instrument?

Me?

I really wanted to play piano

my grandfather wanted to buy me a baby grand

my mother, oh so wise, vetoed it

why?

as a child 

she took piano lessons 

and 

she knew me well enough to know 

I would lose interest 

as soon as it became 

a lesson 

vs 

a lark

Oh so wise was my mother

Tell me about your music lessons
