Surrounded by antique clocks and chandeliers, an unidentified shopper sat down to try out the baby grande piano at the Antique Marketplace on Burnt Poplar Road. The sound of the tuned piano being played filled the building with the warmest, calmest sound. Shoppers stopped to take notice, not sure if it was arranged entertainment or just a spontaneous action on the part of a client. The pianist, shopping with his wife and young daughter, played for several minutes; a bit of musical relief from the bitter cold.
January is a time to set goals, make resolutions, and improve on the past. The sharing of musical talent is a great way to bring people together and bring joy to others. Some people have pianos in their homes or businesses that are underused. If you have an underused piano in your life, consider bringing someone in to coax the music out of it. They are meant to be played. As for Antique Marketplace, thank you for having that great, tuned piano at the door- even if it is waiting for a new home. As for the anonymous piano man, thank you for a great concert! Indeed, Greensboro's got talent.
Quite a piano to be playing!
