Kenneth on Learning to Play the Piano

Also on Kenneth's list of things to do before he dies was to learn to play the piano. He found a teacher, a woman by the name of Mabes Imhoff, and became her only adult pupil. He skipped playing scales, going directly to more challenging pieces. He became fairly good, and later his son Kip decided to play. Kenneth claims it was Kips playing that caused him to have no time on their piano to practice, and therefore he stopped the lessons
