Hmm, I like the idea (I take pics of women at the piano) but I don't want to have a room called "soft porn" here.  Let's think of a different name but keep the same idea.

I've also moved this room to "off campus" because it's not really a jazz lessons style of room.

new name ideas?
cool:  Maybe we could put it up to public debate here as to what a better name would be... Ideas guys?

How about a collage of butt prints left on said piano?

Mike -- 04/13/2005, 12:20:00 -- #12794
for a room name you mean?  
"Collage of Butt Prints"
I don't know
what does eveyone else think?

Whacky -- 04/13/2005, 15:32:30 -- #12803

Kitten on the Keys?

great ideas Dr. Whack!!!  right off I am particullarly fond of "Mike's Muffs"  but I want it clear the room is for everyones Muffs.  so i guess
I like Kitten on the Keys better.  Although I dont know if it was not for the fact that I  know Scot would not go for it... Piano Pussy is pure Class.

Based on the following criteria:

a) the walls will be covered in pointless and offensive grafitti,

b) the whole idea stinks to high heaven, and

c) the room will be completely full of shit

I suggest we call it The Men's Room.

This name will also let the ladies and underage kids know that this room is off limits to them.

Or maybe "The Locker Room".  But, I'm not sure it belongs here at LJP.  I would think twice about sending my students here for inspiration.  I can be as locker room as the next guy, but I pretend to have class when neccesary - a hypocrite I guess:)

I really like Kitten on the Keys- I have NO problem having tasty (PG) photos uploaded to show some of the, ah, more desirable aspects of being a jazz pianist :)

Whacky -- 04/14/2005, 15:27:21 -- #12845
I'm honored:)

If anyone has a good shot of Pfeiffer doing the Baker Boys "Makin' Whoopy" tune, I wouldn't mind having that one in this gallery :)

Whacky -- 04/15/2005, 00:06:20 -- #12854
It's not a great shot, but I googled it:)

Scot -- 04/15/2005, 03:26:00 -- #12862
Except that it's Michelle Pfeifer :)

Since we're sharing stories too...many years ago I was playing solo at a  very elite country club for some very rich folks.  Funny how the women at those functions are usually attractive...hmmm

Anyway, this place was actually an old barn that had been renovated.  For some strange reason there was a sliding board from what had been a hay loft, that went right down into the middle of the room.  The piano was righ right across from the base of this board.  

All guests for this particular party were required to enter the room via the sliding board - I kid you not.  I still have vivid memories of all the beautiful women in their very expensive dresses, flying toward me spread-eagle - hehe...it was a beautiful thing:)

and another one...at another elite country club full of attractive young ladies...only this was a wedding.

The brides maids were all dancing in front of me (as usual)Their dresses were off-white, very tight, mermaid looking things with a slit up the back and white hose.  As they were dancing it became hard to move so they would hike the dresses up a bit...and finally up past the slit break until all cheeks were visible - ahh...why did I quit that band?  - oh yeah, I'm old now:)

Another time I was playing at a sleezy bar.  There were long lines to use the restrooms, but as usual the line for the women's room was much longer.

So I'm standing there using the urinal when a very attractive you lady busts in and says "you guys mind if I use this john?"  What do you think they said?

She pushed her way to the fron of the line, dropped trou and backed up to the urinal beside me- hehe - it was a beautiful thing

Unequality
Actually I don't really appreciate it when women use the men's restrooms, they know they can get away with it so they do it. Why can't we use theirs? They'd be outraged or afraid. Whenever I see one or more hanging out in there I feel like dropping my pants & saying, "OK girls, on a scale of one to ten.." or how about, "Can you help me with...?"

Scot -- 06/17/2005, 12:55:22 -- #15235
If there are women in the guy's room I don't think about it for a second. If they are going to be freaked out if I pull Uncle Willie out and relieve myself at the urinal, that's their problem.  Hmm... I HAVE used the women's restroom on occasion :)  If the guy's is closed or being cleaned and it just can't wait, I've been known to avert my eyes and say "Excuse me.." a few times.

If they are in the guy's room, I figure they deserve whatever they might be, ah, exposed to :)

yep, it didn't phase me a bit either -  she didn't care and neither did I...we were just there to do our thing:)
