OK,
so I lied about the fun part.
Maybe
piano playing is the just 2nd most fun thing adults
can do. But 2nd place isn’t bad when you consider
the popularity of the competition.
But
there’s no question at all that it is MUCH safer
than sex.
How
so?
·Piano
playing has no threat of easily transmitted diseases,
unless of course you lick the keys.
·To
date, piano playing is not known to cause pregnancy.
·Piano
playing does not lead to jealousy, rage, spousal abuse,
or murder. No love triangles here – there’s
plenty of notes and songs to go around.
·Piano
playing is generally not done in fast cars leading
to accidents.
·Very
few pianists talk on their cell phones while playing
the piano with both hands.
·Piano
playing is generally not done under the influence
of foreign substances. Very few piano players sniff
glue or inhale helium. But the few adults that do
play under the influence find that falling off the
piano bench is really not that big a deal.
·Piano
playing does not often lead to 911 calls or other
forms of emergency action.
OK.
So piano playing is safer than sex. What about the
fun part?
·Playing
the piano in a social setting is a great way to make
friends and create bonds as you sing around the piano
with others. Social and happy people are always popular.
·Piano
playing gals and guys can create their own music in
their own way. They can create moods that excite,
moods that empower, and moods that heal and sooth.
·Piano
playing is a great relaxation tool after a stressful
day at work or at school. Many professional people
– medical doctors particularly – relax
after work by playing Beethoven, Brubeck, or the Beatles
on the piano.
·Piano
playing is no-cost therapy: anger can be taken out
not at a boss or a teacher, but by pounding the keys.
Saves thousands in psychotherapy costs, and keys are
relatively cheap to replace compared to months or
years with a psychiatrist.
·And
hey – everybody knows that the right kind of
music leads to romance, so…maybe I wasn’t
lying when I said it was more fun than sex!
