Pete had a love for the piano he even thought himself to play. When Nanny and Pete were dating Pete would take her to his house and he’d play for her. Nanny always asked him to play one of her favorite songs “Once in awhile” when he was done playing he’d ask her how was it, and Nanny would fuss over him giving him lots of complements, another one of their favorites was “Sentimental Journey”. When they were married and 6 children later My Mom Gloria at the age of 18 bought Pete his very own piano, he played for all the parties and when us Grandchildren came along he played for us, he even thought us a few songs to play during Christmas. Pete was very strict in his younger years so he’d make you play till you got it right even if you cried. But when Rachel or Myself played he was so proud you could see it in his face, he’d nod and give you a wink and a smile. My sister Gina was very lucky to have video tape Pete while play, I’ll have to figure a way to add that clip
