-tek, in California the odds are even worse than that. I think getting hit by lightning is what 14Million:1 Superlotto odds are 60Million:1 in California. Pretty steep!
Nigel, did you hear about that one guy who hit our Superlotto Jackpot and then that same day bought a Quick Pick Fantasy 5 and won that too! OMG . . . They figured out his odds were 23Trillion:1! He was quoted saying "I guess I was a bit lucky." 23Tril.?He Guesses? A Bit? It obviously hadn't really hit him yet how lucky that is.
Weighted keys are great for the beginner to learn the physical properties of the piano. When I was a tot I was given a toy piano to get me off the real one. I remember my mom saying that I played it but whenever I could, I would sneak downstairs to the upright that was in the basement. I don't remember back exactly that far except that the piano downstairs had so many more keys.
My poor parents bless their souls. I must have really driven them to the edge way back then. Probably a good reson why I got lessons, so I wouldn't drive them completely bonkers. I still take 1 lesson per week (LOL and at times, hehe I still play horrible too LOL)
