- Piano -

                                      Patience is the first rule
                                      Passionate harmonies
                                      Playfully on the keys,
                                      painted in black and white
                                      Prelude in E minor
                                      Piano ... played all night
                                      Price; be famous and rich

Congrats on your winning work. Way to go. Yes, play and be famous like Floyd Cramer or Liberace. However, someone who plays an instrument it can be enjoyed by home and family, church, or community. Sara

Aww that's not fair !!! Folk told me mine would win, and then you go and put one up that is much better!! :( ... But if anyone had to create one better than mine, I am glad it was you sweet friend. I hate to admit it, but I really love your Pleiades ! Your Image is great too. You did great Sunshine. Well done.
