\"\"I stopped by to play the piano in front of Central Library in downtown Indianapolis today, and one of the librarians came out and took my picture and recorded a little bit. It is now on their web site<\/a>.<\/p>\n

You can learn more about the \u201cGo Ahead and Play<\/a>\u201d project, and the Women\u2019s Fund of Central Indiana which sponsors it, on their web site<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The best part was that a passerby heard me playing and singing \u201cThe Way It Is\u201d by Bruce Hornsby and the Range, and said he loves that song but doesn\u2019t know who it\u2019s by. I told him, and he went into the library to try to find the CD!<\/p>\n

You can (barely) hear that conversation towards the end of the recording on the library web site<\/a>.<\/p>\n

And if you like this sort of thing, but would rather listen to a professional, Tony DeSare recently recorded himself performing \u201cI Love A Piano\u201d around a whole set of public pianos around New York City:<\/p>\n
