On July 4, at the piano at St. Marks-on-the-Bowery, I sat down and played "Big Butter and Egg Man" in honor of Louis Armstrong, who would have turned 110 that day.
To play piano outdoors while the traffic was whizzing by on Second Avenue was a nice feeling. Hundreds of people walked by as though seeing somebody play piano near the sidewalk was the most natural thing in the world. And maybe it is.
Thanks to Luke Jerram and to everyone who drove the trucks, tuned the pianos and dealt with the city officials to make this social experiment such a success. I played five of the pianos in Brooklyn and Manhattan, and at each one, people were surprised and a bit disappointed that the pianos would not be available all summer.
Please do this again next year!
