His Most Prized Possessions
4/25/05
The pianist who played during the lunch buffet the Saturday I saw Arsenic and Old Lace. He values his piano, of course - the one he has at home, I mean. And he should! It cost him more than $30,000!
He also holds dear to his heart an old Cliff Richard record given to him when he was 12 years old by 'Santa Claus.' Sir Richard was his idol, and he had become a pianist solely from his influence.
He lives in a modest abode with his wife and teenage son. He's fairly quiet, and enjoys a good glass of scotch once in a while on the back porch. He loves watching cricket, owns a cricket bat, but never plays.
When he was in his 20's, just beginning his career as a background pianist, he had had a cat. A grey tabby with loads of fluffy, soft hair, the most gentle creature imaginable. When the poor wee kitty died, the pianist had had it stuffed. Kind of gross, but this was his most prized possession, if a cat can ever be possessed.
