Driving Minnie's Piano (27 page)

^{In the morning, I unlocked the
U-Haul and removed the surfboard, uncovered the keyboard and ran my
fingers along the keys. One of the ivory coverings had fallen off
the D note right next to middle C. I began a one-sided conversation
with Minnie's piano, a kind of welcome speech, an apology for a
difficult trip and some words of thanks for our safe
arrival.}

^{Later, after my neighbours
helped me move the piano into the house, it would become a kind of
shrine of memory and music, sitting in a room that captured the
first light of morning on a hillside by the sea.}
