Hmmm ... there are 88 keys on a standard piano ...

Good to see others bring up the rather apocolyptic Red Sails ... 25 year
anniversary of Three Mile Island last week and all.  We were listening to it
in the car when the rain was pouring down like the great flood and my kids
kept making me repeat everything from Helps Me Helps You to Shipyards of NZ.

Happy now to be out of the blue steel bubble and back to bicycle bird noise
sensaround and soccer balls
