tickling the ivories

I learned to play piano in third grade from Mrs.Hufnagel. I would cut through a neighbors yard which would lead me to her house for my weekly lesson. When I was reminded to practice, my mother would gently tell me to go and “tickle the ivories.” Somehow it made it more fun knowing that there was tickling involved. I am tickled to sponsor this gal over here today. Do you have any hobbies that tickle your fancy?
