    I was going to write, "The piano my Dad learned to play on," but it's against the rules to end a sentence with a preposition. I decided to be a good girl and follow the rules. Maybe I should have written, "The first piano my Dad learned to play." But that might not be quite true either. Maybe he first played his piano teacher's piano. I could say, "The piano my Dad practiced on when he was learning to play the piano." But that sounds wordy and it has one of those dangling prepositions in the middle. So...

    Anyway. It's the piano that was in my grandparent's house (which is now in my uncle's house) and has been missing ivories and has been painfully out of tune for as long as I can remember.

    sorry....I couldn't resist after your "picking up a friend" comment yesterday :)

    Who made all those English grammar rules anyway?
