The Old Joanna

Henrietta loves to play the piano. She struggles a little to reach the pedals, but even so she still enjoys playing.

She really enjoys playing music from the musicals. Sometimes she even sings along. Henrietta likes that Andrew Lloyd Webber, and someimtes imagines herself to be Chrstine singing in the Paris Opera House. She is really interested in his new show - she has heard that one of the actresses goes bear. Henrietta likes that. Nobody has corrected her on the homophone - Henrietta would not like that...

Henrietta plays the classics too, but she has a little secret. When nobody else is around Henrietta is a red-hot boogie woogie player. She could never stand the attention that she would get if she let people know how well she plays, but she can bash out a left hand that would make people dance for hours if only she played it at a party.

Maybe some day Henrietta will let people hear her rockin' boogie woogie. But for now, Henrietta is perfectly happy with some songs from the shows.
