Outdoor pianos are slowly starting to take over the streets! On Sunday, July 12th on the CBS Sunday Morning show I watched an amazing story about a project in London to bring music to the streets. 30 Pianos have been placed around London each one with the words "Play Me, I'm Yours" written on it. Artist Luke Jerram brought this event to life as part of the City of London Festival. I love the idea of music spontaneously happening around a city! Go figure, two days after I saw that segment I was walking down into the West Fourth Street station and came across a man with a full piano playing in the subway! Later I found out he was the "Crazy Piano Man", who is in fact, not crazy at all, but simply thinks its a great idea to bring a real piano into interesting places while making people happy and making himself some money! His name is Collin Huggins and I would definitely listen to him when you can - visit his website to stay on top of where he is. Here is a pic of when I saw him in the subway!
