Piano pop up everywhere!

From snazzy Hong Kong hotels, to cavernous railways stations in Utrecht, Maastricht, Arnhem, all over the place, pianos started popping up everywhere last northern Spring. The amazing things is pianists started popping up everywhere too! I must have walked past the piano in Utrecht about a dozen times before there was any chance I’d get to play it.. but my fingers were itching (see Blog page story) so I persisted - between precocious child prodigies and modest elderly maestros I managed to tinkle out a few tunes, once almost missing my train (see me jump and run after “Winter Night in Liffey”!) These are incomplete performances, just snap shots of what people have liked on my CD “Midnight Rain”, as well as previews of 2 tracks from my next CD, “Trespass”, plus a brief hearing of the outro of music I have composed to the poems of a very humble but significant human being (more on that in a forthcoming News item).  I was in (and on my way to) Europe for a special family birthday - these pianos became friends as they gave me the opportunity to play and practice (and road test) some music that means a lot to me and others.
