Apparently we are no longer allowed to paint or draw on this piano. According to Sherry, the building manager of Frost Bank Tower, "the artwork on the piano is an eyesore and subtracts from the beauty of the building". I was surprised and disappointed to learn that I could no longer paint here :(
What a neat surprise to come upon the piano and find out about the event happening in Austin that way! Remember hearing about previous events in other cities. Took this photo for someone who made a wish on Wish Upon A Hero for photos of teddy bears with US landmarks (I took a cool one with the Capitol and with one of the guitars and couldn't resist snapping this, too).
I hope that this piano, which I get to see daily, will be decorated by folks in an interesting way (so far ... what's been added is like kids writing on school desks). I plan to check out a bunch of the other sites.
I am a singer/songwriter from Houston and was in town playing at UT's Forty Acres Fest. I heard about this project from a friend and thought it would be cool to do a video using some of the different pianos involved with this project. Here is a compilation video of "Bennie and the Jets"
