In spite of ghastly lighting conditions, I went ahead and took pictures of Babe’s new blanky. We have waited almost a month for it to arrive, custom-made by an outfit in Arizona that makes nice protective covers for pianos. It’s maroon crushed velvet, underlain with a Naugahyde-like waterproof layer, with a non-marring soft felt that will touch Babe’s delicate ebony skin. Who could ask for more? Her gold-embroidered name and Steinway’s lyre logo make it extra special. Are we to be accused of pampering?
Guilty as charged.

Wow, that is nice! This is also our first look at the new floor which is very nice too.
I've never heard a more enticing description for ....well;...anything...I'll take ten !! Does that piano know how LUCKY it is??
Pete S.: It's an okay floor, Brazilian cherry. Do they really have cherries in Brazil? The little red thing to the right of the piano is the felt cover on its soft pedal. I think Ben tore it off.
Daffy, you're an easy sell. I used to work at an advertising agency. I could have done better with the description about the blanky on Babe's lovely body, but I'm out of the ad-writing mode. I could have made it gushier, like saying the underlaying felt will sensuously caress Babe's delicate ebony skin, instead of touch Babe's delicate ebony skin. Thanks anyway.
STOP!...."delicate ebony skin".....going to stick my head in an ice bucket....
