1967 Baldwin Piano Music Facet Clear Vibrant Tone Joy Light Responsive Print Ad

     So, still playing with Chat GPT, whom I affectionally refer to as Geppetto.  Gave it my eBay description, and the below text is the response.  I do still have my own bit to ad, because Baldwin is near and dear to my heart, and to my childhood, so please continue to read after Geppetto's text!  :^)

Now back to me...

    Having read Geppetto's rewrite of my eBay listing, it's worth noting that the emphasis of the ad text is pointedly about "Your little girl."  Kind of makes me feel left out, because when I was about 6, in 1966, my parents bought a Baldwin piano for me.  Piano lessons were MANDATORY... Dad was military.  They asked my opinion before buying the piano.  In my 6-year-old innocence, I agreed that "sure, I'd like to learn how to play the piano."  That answer resulted in me repeating 3 years worth of first-year lessons...  not many people can say they were sent back to start over 3 times in three years.

    The rest of this blog felt more appropriate in my Southern Gospel Music blog, "Grace Notes" so I finished it over there.  Click this link to discover how I wound up taking the same lessons over... and over... and over!
