Someone donated an old piano to St. Pancras train station in London. The station management put it out in the concourse. People walk up and play it. One day a random guy joined in, for a boogie boogie duet.
A couple years later, Elton John donated a new Yamaha piano to the station. One wonders if Sir Elton say that video and decided to get them a nicer piano. It works, too.
Now that is what the piano was designed for.
ReplyDeleteThat would never work here in the US. The piano would be covered in graffiti and then destroyed within a week.
ReplyDeleteGreat stuff! However, one must always keep in mind this sage piece of advice:
