She Sang Soprano While I Played Piano

A cute story! I'm so excited to have stumbled upon a cute story!

I miss my piano, any piano in fact. I miss being able to relax with the ivories and just zone out in the key of D. Today I had to go to the doctor's for a "medical" in order to finalize some paperwork for my permanent work VISA. I heard a few interesting things about this doctor, so I wasn't quite excited to go. I arrived, the doctor's husband greeted me, I think their daughter was behind the desk and their son was in the back doing homework. Quite the family affair. This little office was all-inclusive, your business being everyones business. I then noticed something off to the side.

"Is that a piano?" A piano indeed! (Well, an Electron to be exact). They had me play a few songs, then pulling out Thai songs, the doctor singing in her best singing voice right beside me. Her son then played a few songs for me. A family heirloom, violin, was pulled into the mix, exam requirements for this instrument shown to me, music galore and the history of certain songs. I was in my glory! The doctor made me promise to return, insisting that I could visit and play anytime, any day and they would never ask me to leave.

Forty minutes later I left the office, the ability to play the piano apparently sufficing as a healthy medical check, only to return the following afternoon for the next show. I love these moments!
