When I was a kid, my next door neighbor, Charlie, used to regale in telling stories of when he used to play piano in speak easies in the '30s. One of his favorites was each on of the 12 times he'd had a piano shot out from under him. Either "the" gang they were paying "insurance money to because they missed a payment. Or a rival gang that wanted them to change "insurance carriers." And occasionally by the cops trying to make it look like they weren't on the take. This was in Chicago.
So I grow up, move out, get a job...the usual things that happen.
I drop by my parents house to visit. Mom tells me Charlie died. Then tells me his wife said, "He wanted you to have these..." His Stetson derby "piano playing hat" in the original box. A genuine (probably illegal) leather lead filled sap. And, his Thompson.
I still have all three.
Never did learn how to play the piano, but I do know how to use the other two.
