9-29-2013 – Piano 2
This is the first of two recordings I made at Franklin Park Zoo. I arrived as the piano tuner was finishing up, so I sat in the shade and ate my breakfast as he worked. As I was waiting, I got to watch the stream of people in line for the zoo, and I loved how a lot of them turned to see what he was doing. Public pianos can be such a spectacle. They draw the attention of so many people, especially young children.
I’m also impressed by how many people there are who enjoy playing. I’ve only just begun my quest to try to play as many as possible before they’re taken away on Oct. 14, and even now, I’ve had to wait my turn twice. I will probably spend as much time or more listening to others play as I will playing myself, which I think is really cool!

This recording was made just minutes ago, at my home piano. I’m getting ready to find a couple more public pianos today from the Boston Celebrity Series. Maybe I’ll see you there! The first one will be at the Franklin Park Zoo, close to when they open, at 10am. Then, I might make my way into Boston via the South End. However, I’m coming home after Franklin Park to change my laundry (and before I move on to more pianos), so I’ll have another update in a couple hours!

Fresh from the piano in front of JP Licks in Jamaica Plain! A trumpet player and his buddy with a tambourine happened to bike up right around when I was waiting my turn, and they joined in!

Part 3. This one is dedicated to my partner’s uncle, Jim Sullivan, who passed away just last week. He was an amazing person, and I feel so lucky I was able to get to know him a little bit over the past couple years.
