Friend #3 I visited around 7.30 in the evening on 6/23. No wait time whatsoever, after looking all four quarters for it. NE, nope, NW into Father Demo Square which I suspected it would be, nope SW I was slighly worried it was going to be in the little park there, but nope finally off the SE quarter near a couple of benches on the corner of Bleeker Street and Sixth Avenue, no wait, jump right into a set which included "Poem on the Underground Wall"- Simon and Garfunkel, and excerpts from Rondo Alla Turca (final movement of K. 331) by Mozart.
During the set I did get a couple of interested spectators, one who had read an article in the Times and completely impressed by the concept, and a father and daughter with only a little bit of shyness, but again the rule is if someone is watching give them the right to take over, unless they say no.
This project hearkens back to a time when I studied piano for roughly fifteen years of my life and gave me something to pour myself into. Smile.

By far the sweetest audience!!! Loved these ladies, they were enjoying themselves and singing along. Had a blast here.
A woman scheduled to play on the first day, Monday, June 21st. I believe I saw her somewhere around 6pm I think.

I work in the area, but have been back every day and am getting to know the neighbors. I'm like the alarm clock waking the people who sleep in this park.
