If you’re walking down
the street and you happen to hear piano
music - stop, look and listen. With any luck at all, you might have run into Billy Joel.
That’s exactly what
happened the other day in Huntington, Long
Island. Joel was out for a motorcycle ride
when he came upon a discarded piano. It was just sitting there on the sidewalk, waiting
to be hauled away by sanitation’s finest.
Not on Joel’s
watch! He couldn’t help but test it out by playing a
lively ragtime tune. Keys worked, yup. Pedals worked, yup. Final report: “The
action is great… The mechanics are perfect.”
After making these
pronouncements, Joel urged bystanders that the piano “should
at least be donated…” And with this kind of publicity, it probably will be.
