I think it used to spin. They are also seasonal and close down during fall-winter-spring.

Texas Instruments doesn’t even make instruments.
"Instruments" are not always musical. My first calculator was made by Texas Instruments.

But chairs sometimes are.
This is true:
The treble clef chair does not look remotely comfortable to sit on, as you would need to supply your own cushion. It might make an interesting plant stand, or place to keep your metronome or other musical-themed stuff.
The keyboard chair looks usable, though.

The piano chair you just hope it not be sharp. And that other chair, that’s the trouble with trebles.

Sommerswerd asked me to change this
Why don't you take your bass and set it down on the chair
Yeah, I've always preferred flats. They're more comfortable and intuitive. As I'm typing, I'm whistling a French-Canadian folk song in E-flat major.
Whoever designed the treble clef chair didn't get it quite right.

I’m just thinking about that poor carpet underneath.
Note to self: evens in, odds out
Too lazy to write a memo elsewhere

Yeah, the carpet should have been protected better.
In a non-musical random thought: Today is my grandfather's 120th birthday (I still have a couple of his baby pictures).
No, he is not alive; he died in 1986. But I still thought I'd remember his birthday.

November 15th? That’s the same day my grandfather died. He would be 107.
I don't know if it is real, but a quick google shows that supposedly he died in 1932, so I doubt that many people were into movies or even used automobiles at the time. The name doesn't sound greek either.
I am not sure if one would be able to become adopted by the monasteries back then. Athos is a semi-autonomous entity in Greece, a bit like the Vatican in Rome.

My first thought was surely the airplanes are the difficult bit. I guess there were fewer in those days.
The name is clearly South Slavic and, if he was born around 1850, definitely at the time the distribution of population there was not the same as today, after forced assimilation and/or ethnic cleansing in all the post-Ottoman states. So a Slav baby born near enough to Mount Athos to be taken there is possible.

Sounds to me like the newspaper had a few spare columns that needed to be filled that day.
TOILETS CAUSES TRAFFIC JAM
BEIRUT - A stir was caused Friday in the French protectorate when a truck carrying new toilets suddenly came to a halt, spilling its porcelain contents out into the city’s busiest intersection. Motorists and passers-by, French and Arab alike, were bemused by the dozens of half-broken toilets strewn about, and were further nonplussed as many auto-mobiles attempted in vein to circumvent the obstacles before them. The situation was finally resolved after a dispatch of officers agreed to help remove the toilets. The local constabulary reports the truck driver was fined 10 francs for littering.
