Piano

Pete's dive bar piano man 
Play the guests all requests
Popular sing alongs
Pleasing with tin pan songs
Prime tunes everyone knows 
Period piece musical 
Porter's "Anything Goes"

Anaya, what delight you have captured in the "piano man" with the ability to play any request in a smoky bar inviting people into a sing-a-long. What a great atmosphere you have created! Blessings!

Cole Porter, one of the all time greats, My folks were both born prior to 1910, so I grew up listening to Cole Porter songs. Your Pleiades is the best I have read Anaya. I know I am not supposed to say this, but I cant credit the fact that this didn't get a place in the contest. ITS TERRIFIC. ..SV

You and Robert below have such similar artistic temperaments. I saw "Anything Goes" the musical, and wonderful revival of his 1935 play here in Hollywood! Thank you, S.V. soupmail

You are to be congratulated for recognizing one of America's musical treasures, a true giant in the Great American Songbook! He has brought the world so much pleasure. Words cleverly crafted and absorbing. Best of luck in the contest, Robert

Oh how beautiful and joyous is the ambience youv depicted through this pleiades, so seamlessly it flows and shows us a scenery where i would too want to be. You’ve done your pleiades very well dear beautiful Anaya! You are such a gifted poetess, i really love the line “ pleasing with tin pan songs” “ prime tunes everyone knows” loved it. Goodluck for the contest
