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. :)

Leon Rich performs the Tom Waits song "Ol' 55" accompanied by Betty Widerski & Melika Fitzhugh of band Ginger Ibex. This is actually an Instagram video, but this page won't accept that kind of link so see/hear it here: http://instagram.com/p/fGtrqomqA7/

Our band Ginger Ibex gave two pop-up performances on Saturday October 5 at the pianos. Here we play our original piece "Firefly" (accompanied by some sirens at the end!) Here the studio version and more at gingeribex.bandcamp.com

The piano in front of the Science Center was getting lots of use on a sunny September 29.

Our second stop after Brattle was this piano, around 8:15pm. Later we returned around 9:45pm so our friend who is making a video of her friends playing the pianos could film Sharon playing it

I spent an amazing afternoon walking with Tony DeBlois and his mother, Jan. Tony is blind, autistic and has Savant Syndrome. He is hoping to play all 75 pianos.
There was some sort of street fair going on in the Plaza so it was pretty busy. I thought no one was paying attention until Tony finished his first piece when applause erupted from everywhere.
