When I looked up the Cry Baby Bridge History, I was surprised to see how many homes are said to be haunted in my town!!! I always wondered why I felt so unsettled here, now I know!  |

| I suspect it's all that black gold under Oklahoma that's causing all the paranormal activity like with your computer. And the wind. That has to be causing weird things to happen. And all the buried bones of Indians and pioneers. There are all sorts of psychic influences under and in and on and probably over Oklahoma. |

| A true story
Sometimes when I am playing the piano at my home, there is the very strong scent of a woman's perfume. It's not my mother's. She passed away a long time ago. Plus, she never lived in my home.
I do know that the elderly woman who lived in my home before I did, loved the sound of the piano. She passed away about eighteen years ago. Rather violently two, since she had fallen down the back porch steps.
Also sometimes when I am playing the piano, there might be a strong, cold breeze that happens momentarily. This has happened when all of the windows and doors to the outside were shut. One time, when I had invited a friend over and he hadn't arrived yet, I was playing the piano. I thought for sure that he had come in, because there was this cold draft of air around me. I looked at the door through which he would have entered. It had not been opened.
Anybody want to come over and listen to me play the piano late at night?  |

| Will there be drinks and snacks too? Will I be able to suggest requests and dedications? Could I have a turn at the keyboard playing "Heart and Soul" and "Fur Elise"? |

| I used to visit clients homes for counseling. One older woman was happy to meet me and welcomed me joyfully, fed me tea and fruitcake, but warned me about sitting in an old rocker. It had been her dear departed mother's favorite chair. Whoever sat there was always cold. The cold spot followed the chair, no matter where they put it in the living room.
I sat on the couch. |

I have two grands in my living room. We can play duets! I can show you how to improvise on something that someone else is playing at the same time! Please remember that I told you that I could make you an instant blues player!
Requests and dedications? What do you want to do, Christen me while you ship me away? Heck of a way to waste a good bottle of Champagne! |

| "Fur Elise" was during Year Three of my eight years of piano lessons. Sheesh. Of course, I can play "Fur Elise".
I wanna play the piano like Nina Simone. |
