"My mother, who is a pianist and a fine artist, purchased a piano for me. Twice. This was back when I was a small girl. Pianos, of course, came complete with the quintessential piano teacher who whacked my hand with a stick each time I struck the wrong key.

Coincidentally, books come from trees and flipping the pages sounds like wind through leaves... hhhmmmm... I guess I'm still just climbing trees now, but in a different way!"

I would rather lose the phantom."
