My great-grandmother, whom I’m named after, was a piano player and a flapper in this era. She partied with the boys who went to Penn State and apparently could just sit down and play anything. She brought up her kids and grandkids with the ideal that music is important and everyone should know how to play an instrument. Growing up there was always a piano in my mom’s and grandmom’s houses (just like Grandma Emily wanted). Today I’m a piano player and I hope I inherited some of her skill.
