She wrote a long book, a diary really, from which this is one passage:<\/p>\n<p><strong>My Weekly Piano Lessons<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">My weekly piano lessons began in 1941 in an upper flat in Detroit from our church organist and traveling piano teacher. This is when my lifelong love of <a href=\"https:\/\/lenpenzo.com\/blog\/id44230-grandfather-says-the-diy-harpsichord-2.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">playing the piano<\/a>, including all the practicing, began; I was 7.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I practiced on my mother\u2019s upright Brinkerhoff piano, the only one of that name I ever saw, and she kept it until she sold her furniture and went to live in Florida. \u00a0She bought a Kimball piano in Venice, and I wished that she could have kept the old Brinkerhoff which was a superior piano, but I think she decided to just get rid of everything and reduce the costs of moving.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When we were kids, My brother and I had giggly times while we secretly made fun of Mom\u2019s soprano friend whenever she came to sing with Mom&#8217;s piano accompaniment. \u00a0I\u2019m \u00a0happy for them both that they could share the special experience, but there was something very funny, for silly kids like Ron and I, about sopranos singing in our living room. \u00a0Her voice inspired Prince, our dog, to \u201csing\u201d along, with his head raised, howling like a wolf, probably from hurting ears.<strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Songs my parents taught us, from their childhood: &#8220;I Don\u2019t Want to Play in Your Yard,&#8221;\u00a0a song I learned from my mother:<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: center;\">I don\u2019t want to play in your yard<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: center;\">I don\u2019t like you anymore<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: center;\">You can\u2019t holler down my rain barrel<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: center;\">Or slide down my cellar door<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Past history is in those words. \u00a0\u201cRain barrels\u201d were to collect soft rainwater for washing clothes, and for other uses, and you can still see heavy old slanted cellar doors around.\u00a0 Opened, they expose a stairway down into the root cellar completely buried in the ground and our house in Warrenton had one. Ours had a dirt floor and rough-built shelves which held many jars of fruits and vegetables preserved during busy summers of canning.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;Let\u2019s All Sing Like the Birdies Sing,&#8221; an English song hit printed in London, 1932, was a favorite of Ron and I when we were kids, and I have her sheet music copy. \u00a0Sometimes I include it in incidental music I play for programs, and many of the old folks remember it.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dad used to sing &#8220;The Little Shirt My Mother Made For Me.&#8221; He learned it while growing up in Alderney. We found a set of words from the Internet, but it isn\u2019t the same as Dad\u2019s. His version included a verse about \u201cI can\u2019t forget the day that I was born, in the little shirt my mother made for me.\u201d Then a verse about \u00a0\u201cWhen I began to crawl, in the little shirt my mother made for me.\u201d Then a verse about \u00a0\u201cOn the day I went to school, in the little shirt my mother made for me.\u201d Then several more verses, ending with something about \u201c&#8230; going off to war, still wearing the little shirt my mother made for me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I think it was one of those folk songs that\u2019s different everywhere it\u2019s sung, depending on the singer\u2019s experiences retold in the song.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dad often played his harmonica by ear, mostly hymns.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Later he bought a Wurlitzer accordion from Grinnell\u2019s &#8211; a well-known music store in downtown Detroit &#8211; and taught himself to play that; also by ear. He often played it in the dark, not needing written music for the hymns he knew so well. He mastered the three left-hand chords (the I, the IV, and the V), which I\u2019ll tell you all about if you ever want to know, so hymns could be harmonized nicely &#8211; even if the three chords were all the player knew for the left hand.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He played right hand melodies by ear. Way to go, Dad! We had some 78 rpm records; Dad\u2019s favorite music for listening was march music, and the &#8220;Colonel Bogey March&#8221; was his favorite. I could hum it for you; it was featured in background music of the movie, <em>Bridge on the River Kwai<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p><em>To be continued&#8230;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>***<\/p>\n<p><em>About the Author: RD Blakeslee (1931 &#8211; 2024) built his net worth by only investing in that which can be enjoyed during acquisition and throughout life, as opposed to papers in a drawer, like stocks and bonds.
