Eighteen and a half years ago, I bought1 for my son a Yamaha PSR-E 303 electric keyboard. I hate to admit it but for many years this keyboard has been idle and stored out of sight. For a while, it was resident in our 'music room' where I used to play it now and then, but after my father's death, it was replaced by my father's antique bureau and the keyboard was banished.
Granddaughter #1 started piano lessons about a month ago; she doesn't have any means of practicing in her home, and when she comes to us, she normally doesn't touch the piano, despite my encouragement (maybe I overwhelm her as I can easily play the simple tunes that she has been taught. We promised her that we would give her the electric keyboard so that she can play at home.
It was granddaughter #2's sixth birthday2 last week and granddaughter #1 wanted to play some tunes for her birthday. So yesterday evening, which is when we celebrated the birthday, we took the keyboard along with us and transferred ownership. Three generations of Newmen have now played on it!
