Much more spectacular than a stair well. It would have made quite a splash! Just think, you could have fished it out and played 'Raindrops keep falling on my Head' !<BR/><BR/>GOLDANNE<BR/><BR/>How nice to have you back Anne. It was a bit sad at the time (hilarious later) but we replaced it eventually.<BR/><BR/>JAY<BR/><BR/>When this tale was originally told in my book, the chapter heading was 'Right said Fred' Two minds eh? <BR/>Life is such fun when you are young and learning. Nowadays I would probably have had a heart attack at seeing my furniture so manhandled! This must have happened at least 56 years ago, and it still makes me laugh.granny grimblehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08257953737883411387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-711618681626469103.post-32672552925779601982009-02-27T09:43:00.000-08:002009-02-27T09:43:00.000-08:00Hahahahaahahahahaha! *Snort* So sorry - I doubt it...Hahahahaahahahahaha! *Snort* <BR/><BR/>So sorry - I doubt it was remotely funny at the time, probably very painful for all concerned, both physically and emotionally, but the way you tell it is hilarious! <BR/><BR/>"'Right', said Fred, 'Have to take the wall down.

We moved from an upstairs apartment to a house and, when the movers were trying to manage the piano down the steep stairs, they almost dropped it into the swimming pool. Yikes! <BR/><BR/>I also remember when my Queen left all of her "inmates" behind. It was just in the nick of time. The entire office was transferred to another location several miles from our home. <BR/><BR/>Isn't life interesting?<BR/><BR/>Happy trails.Swubirdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16009070690312312456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-711618681626469103.post-84969429066283369232009-02-26T06:57:00.000-08:002009-02-26T06:57:00.000-08:00BEETLEI know I've told this piano story before, bu...BEETLE<BR/>I know I've told this piano story before, but I thought there would be new readers who hadn't heard it. Like you say it still makes a person laugh - even me!! So silly you'd think it wasn't true, but it was - 100%.<BR/><BR/><BR/>WEECHUFF<BR/><BR/>I agree with you. I bet there isn't one person in our family who couldn't tell a similar tale. In our youth we were quite mad!granny grimblehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08257953737883411387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-711618681626469103.post-1458067418175404152009-02-26T00:40:00.000-08:002009-02-26T00:40:00.000-08:00This story does make me laugh, but it must have be...This story does make me laugh, but it must have been quite worrying at the time!

I surprised that they didn't realize that turning a piano upside down was NOT a good idea. Let's face it, trying to take a piano down two flights of stairs was not a good idea though :O)Babs-beetlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10309239308633895951noreply@blogger.com
