A keyboard is a keyboard is a keyboard..
I caught some of a movie about Cole Porter and his wife, Ashley Judd, on TV a few weeks back. It's called "It's De-Lovely" or something. I missed the opening credits. What I mostly saw was Cole Porter Kevin Kline sweeping into the drawing room in flowing silk robes and a martini in his hand. Then he'd sit down at his piano and try one thing and the other, just like you or me or anyone at their desk, and sigh and think and stare off into space and let the music focus itself and flow out.
This inpired me. I have always been interested at people's work habits, most especially their desks. One of the drawing cards of moving to Virginia Ghost Town City is because Mark Twain's desk was there. Seeing this piano as a desk, and seeing Cole Porter pick and peck and sit and pace and drink his martini until he played what he had to play that day...well, I loved it. Especially the martini.
Turning your keyboard from a Have To to a Want To is wonderful place to be. Pretend you're Cole Porter. And play.
