New Schimmel Grand Piano Acquired
|
(Thanks to the
Lia Davis for the post)
We have found and purchased our replacement piano! It’s a Schimmel 6-foot grand, purchased new in 1999 from Chris Finger Pianos in Niwot. This piano was built in Germany with a Bavarian spruce soundboard, excellent Renner piano action, and Abel hammers. The piano belonged to a Jeffco music teacher and musician, and it lived in Rollinsville, CO, its whole life until a couple of months ago when it was moved to Arvada. The instrument is in immaculate condition with tight pins, little wear on the hammers, a perfect soundboard, and an unblemished case (save for one minor scratch on the underside of the lid). The piano action will need to be fully regulated (adjusted), which is expected for an instrument of this age. Unfortunately, Joe Woods won’t be able to complete this work until October, so we will all need to be patient while the piano waits at Joe’s shop! Thank you to everyone who contributed toward the purchase of our new piano!

Miriam’s Book Table is Proud to Feature…
|
(Thanks to the
Nan Wigington for the post)
two young adult books of astonishing poignance. Both are written by George M. Johnson, a queer man of color. All Boys Aren’t Blue, a collection of essays, follows the author through a brutal childhood beating to the trials and triumphs of his adolescence and adulthood. Johnson talks about it all – gender identity, toxic masculinity, consent, and family structure. We Are Not Broken, a memoir, blows apart the myth of the mother-father-nuclear family. It is a story of a “broken home”, of four brothers raised by their indomitable grandmother. Brotherhood, vulnerability, and sacrifice run like a river through this book’s pages.
Take a look at the books during coffee hour. Mention that you saw this blurb, and we’ll let you buy the books at a deep discount.
