Instead of having a #SilentSunday - how about making some music? I fool around on the piano and I've been in a number of all-percussion bands. Do you have an instrument of choice?

Tonight makes three years I've been streaming with #Owncast; three years I haven't had a single issue with the streaming server, adaptive rate video player, and chat interface that I personally control; and three years I've been serving the music more than I serve platforms.
Come over and watch me try to contribute something with a fraction of the value lead dev Gabe and all contributors to the project have.
J'ai commencé il y a deux ans, avec un piano électronique Roland qui jusque là me convenait. Mais plus je progresse et plus je joue sur le piano (acoustique) de mon prof, plus j'ai envie de m'acheter un vrai piano !

Italian maker of musical instruments Bartolomeo Cristofori was born #OTD in 1655.
Cristofori's most significant invention, the piano, came about as he sought to develop a new keyboard instrument that could offer a greater dynamic range than the harpsichord.
