I had one friend from Atlanta and another from Seattle email me to see if we had seen the pianos on the street. So it's been in the national news. An artist guy had the idea of putting 60 pianos all over the 5 boroughs in public places to encourage interaction among strangers. We have seen 2 - and anyone can sit down and perform. The pianos are painted brightly, and this one was labeled "Play Me, I'm Yours". We were serenaded Thursday in City Hall Park by this talented gent. In this instance, I don't know that you'd say that there was a lot of "friendly interaction" going on. There was another guy who obviously thought our guy had overstayed his welcome. He was really ready for his turn to show off how well he could play. By the way, our guy here should have gotten together with "the Donald" after his performance. They could have exchanged some hair styling tips (or not!).
(Later I came back to this post and added a couple more photos. We stumbled upon the pianos all over the city.)
