ABC Wednesday—E is for "entertainer"

I took this picture of monsieur and his
portable piano when I was in Paris
in 2014.  I took it with me when I went back
in 2015, in case I ran into him again.
(I didn't, though I was able to give pics to
some other people).  La prochaine fois, peut-être.

The Weekend in Black and White

I showed you a funky piano on Wednesday and
(à la Monty Python) now for something completely 
different: my brother's gorgeous 19th-century
Steinway grand.  It (he) makes beautiful music!

(And day after tomorrow is his birthday—
have a good one, Chris!)

ABC Wednesday—P is for "painted"

. . . also "piano" and "Pollock"

Saw this in front of a restaurant with
outdoor seating.  Entertainment for the dinner
crowd, I assume.  Don't know what kind of
music is played, but on this instrument
it should be jazz, I think.

Piano Man

As part of a program called
Sing for Hope Pianos, 88 of them
were placed around the five boroughs of
New York for two weeks back in June,
for anyone to sit down and play.
This one under the arch in Grand Army Plaza
in Brooklyn was the nearest to my house
(and made me wish I could play).

abc wednesday - P is for "piano"

                                                                  

This beauty—a 19th-century Steinway grand—belongs 
to my brother Chris.  On weekends, when he's 
not playing drums with the Lone Sharks he can usually 
be found right here making a different kind of beautiful music.
