I think my strings just broke!\u2019 \u201c explained Allegra, who then immediately called the piano moving company. \u201cThe minute we got in that truck I was yelling to the driver, \u2018Come on, step on that sustain pedal! We don\u2019t have much time signature!\u2019 \u201c<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The couple explained they knew they were getting a C Section ahead of time and did research to find the best Organist in the city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe doctor was great with us- frankly, the whole staff was really great to us,\u201d said Allegra\u2019s husband Don Debussy, a 16th century harpsichord. \u201cNo matter what room you walk into, everyone greets you with a friendly chello. They really had a Handel on everything\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe had a few concerns coming into this. For one, my family has a history of being born with a clef lip. Beyond that, we were both also aware that Allegra\u2019s biological metronome was ticking, it was just the right time.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Accordion to experts, child birth becomes increasingly dangerous with age. Increased risks to Grand Pianos range from serious complications down to throwing out their Bach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI was fairly insistent on being the one to cut the augmented chord,\u201d explained Don, standing in the waiting room while drinking a Coca-Coda. \u201cNot to harp on it, but it\u2019s something that I\u2019ve always wanted to do as a father so I really begged. I hope I didn\u2019t cause too much treble.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The doctors reported the baby came in at a healthy 57 inches and 482 pounds 3 ounces, which is a little on the low side, seeing as she\u2019s made entirely of wood, metal, and glossy paint.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>PHILADELPHIA &#8211; Counting to make sure the baby had all 88 keys, doctors at Jefferson Hospital announced Sunday that a grand piano gave birth to&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":566,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[78,6],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v20.12 -
