> > What's so non-conservative about playing the piano?
It wasn't so much that playing the piano was non-conservative nationwide,
but iit was something that "real" men did not do - period.
>piano = higher culture = upper-class = us!
>but:
>professional pianist = no real work = no money = them!
Where I was reared,
piano = higher culture = upper-class = them!
and
male pianist = fop = fag (i.e. homosexual male)
female pianist = unmmarried female
Other things "real" men didn't do where I was reared:
1. wear cologne
2. examine their nails by spreading the fingers and looking at the back of
the hand
3. strike matches away from the body rather than towards
