I never cease to be amazed an shocked by the correlations

that I find between the numerical values of words and the ac-

tual connotations that are associated with them.  I did not ex-

pect to find such a phenomena in the realm of music, but

much to my amazement, there it was!

   The piano is a fundamental instrument of music, and it

stands out as a monument to the ancient sciences of astrology

and numerology.  The 52 white keys stand for the fifty-

two weeks of the year.  Also, 5 plus 2 equals 7, the magic

number of movable objects in the sky that are observable by

the human eye.  There are 88 total keys on the

keyboard and 8 plus 8 equals 16 or when reduced to one

number--7.  To add to the amazement, there are seven complete

octaves on the piano and each of them contains seven white

keys.

   The 12 signs of the Zodiac are well represented because,

when we include the black keys, there are 12 half tones in

each of the seven complete octaves.  Also, there are a total of

thirty-six black keys which is a multiple of twelve.
