I don't know why I don't have a shot of my actually playing this one. Oh wait I do-- my son was getting bored with all this playing, and was busy taking lovely shots of everything else in Parrott Alley instead. I have lots of flower photos in iPhoto for this date. The piano itself was not in great shape the day we went out on this trip-- but I note in the comments that others have liked it, so I may try to hit it again since it's on extended play.

This was taken on 8-22-10.

I had to come back to this one after vacation. So nice to see it looking and sounding so fine!

I had a blast playing, and met another musician Bryan, and we played some inprompu blues duet which was quite fun.

If these pianos were around all the time, I bet people'd be getting a lot of new ensembles together--and sharing so much more music!

I just love the keys on this one; they are just prisine compared to many of the others, and I dig the sound in the alley.

That sounds beatnik...

Susan and I about to sing some show tunes together at the Montgomery location. I sang "Edelweiss" from "The Sound of Music"...I told her I would try to do my best Christopher Plummer impression.

Ninth location visited- historic downtown Montgomery in Parrot Alley (directly across the Starbucks on Montgomery Road). This one took me by surprise...I was there for well over an hour, and made two new friends, Susan and Peg. Peg is in the background with her dog, Annie. These were just the nicest people you could imagine! Peg called up the Montgomery City Manager on the phone and held the phone in my direction as I was playing- she wanted there to be a public piano in Montgomery year round! For awhile it was just the three of us and the dog, but soon more people showed up, and I had some great conversations and watched others play as well. A car driving down Montgomery Road stopped and yelled out the window, "Hey, remember us? We saw you last night at the Jewish Community Center!" Hahaha...this is TRULY what this whole project is about.
