| Alice Devereux, my granny, lived through two world wars, and the bits of peace between. The frame is made from the lid of her piano (beautiful wood - they didn't use veneers back then). She played the piano to accompany silent movies in the Inglewood Town Hall. She did a great job of improvising - I loved her galloping cowboys. |
