My name is Jill Santos and I'm the current Miss Mendocino County from California. My platform is Music and Art Therapy for the Elderly and piano is the main source of therapy I provide for them, which is why finding these pianos was so special to me. I was in Boston for five days for an Alzheimer's Symposium at Harvard with my mom, and as soon as we learned about the pianos, we printed the map and searched for them all! Unfortunately we couldn't extend our trip anymore, but I did find 47 of them. It has been a wonderful adventure and experience playing in special places and meeting new people all over Boston. :)

Thank you for bringing this to Boston! Last night I made it a mission to go and find some of the pianos that are all around Boston. I found this one in the park... it was a bit late, and no one was around, except a (presumably) homeless man laying on the grass looking up at the sky. I sat down to play and after a few minutes he got up with a couple bags of stuff and came over to me. He leaned on the piano like it was the only think holding him up, and I thought maybe he'd been drinking. I kept playing and wondered what he might say or do. He just stayed there, sort of smiling, and kind of hugging the piano. So, I kept playing. A bit of this and that, really feeling like I don't play that well anymore. I haven't had a lesson since I was 18. I rarely play with my crazy work schedule and all the other commitments we all have that fill our days. I did the best I could for my possibly drunken audience of one. He reached into his bag after a while and took out a small notepad and a pen... He told me he was deaf. He told me he could still feel the music I was playing. He told me it was beautiful.
