As King
Many have claimed to be King . . . including Elvis and Michael Jackson. But without the piano they would only have their gyrations and their respective basements in which to perform.
The piano is a tops, as they say, and many a great talent has been made even greater by the king of instruments. Take away the keys and the pedals and few talents can muster the strength to sing a note. The piano covers faults and reveals weaknesses alike. It covers a multitude of sins, as the scriptures would remind us.
Best to let the King alone and let him sit on the throne. That's what the bench is for. That's why everyone who sits down to play feels like royalty. Even a child.
The next time you are feeling lonely, afraid, or insignificant, sit down at a piano and keep silent for a moment. Strike a key. Just one. That's your note. And you'll be feeling better in no time.
