My friends came with me to this piano, after our performance at the Washington Square Piano in Brookline, and Maggie decided to dance on one of the picnic tables. This video really shows a lot of her dancing, and it is especially beautiful to see her silhouette against the sky behind. About the sirens, I can only smile. They were a constant backdrop for these public pianos, and you'll hear them in many of my recordings.

Dancing outside JP Licks while Melsen plays. We are housemates who improvise together for fun at home. Maggie wanted to add some public dancing so we went out on the last day of the project.

Michael Maleson plays a mini-Trumpet, with Eric on Piano (as his tired doggie waited patiently) while another musician plays a 5-string violin (E-A-D-G-C)

What a wonderful time jamming with Michael Maleson who remembered having met Tony at New England Conservatory about 26 years ago.

The piano was more of an attraction than the ice cream for this girl!
