Whenever I go to the Hotel Chelsea I stop by this old piano in the hallway and tinkle the gap-toothed ivories for a minute or two. G4 is silent. An important note in many songs! I can feel spirits of the past emanting from the keys.

By happy coincidence, the tiles in the garden patio create a harmonious, soft palette with these ballet-slipper pink satin lovelies.
