Bradlee has loved the piano since I first played it with him on my lap. He was too small even to keep himself in the upright position so it made playing very interesting. His love has not abated one whit and he now plays the piano with both hands and sings along. Granted, his songs are made up on the spot as his hands wander the keyboard and his voice may or may not match the notes played either in key or tempo but he's learned to be gentle with the keys and it's all somewhat pleasant to hear.
He climbed onto the piano bench Christmas Eve when everyone was here and played a bit. Then he recalled that I look at a book on the music rack while I play and occasionally turn pages so he picked up a Rodehever's Hymnal that was lying to the side. Nick didn't want him damaging my hymnal so traded him for the first book at hand....a crossword fill-it-in.
As Brad began playing and singing, Mike announced that we were listening to "Crosswords" in B-flat major.
