Had lunch in a meat-and-three restaurant in Duluth, Georgia the other day. When I looked up---there was a piano on the wall. The wallpaper is composed of old Coca-Cola ads...this one features singing at the piano.Why would Coke--the best marketer in the world--have created an ad featuring singing at the piano? Because a few decades ago it was very popular. People gathered around the piano and enjoyed singing together.
Funny thing is, they still enjoy it, when they get a chance. There used to be many more sing-a-long jobs for us working pianists than there are today . . .but people enjoy it as much as ever. Now such parties mostly happen at Christmas (because people still know the words to Christmas songs!).
Want to have a good, cheap and fun event? Print up some word sheets and invite some folks over. Sing some songs. It's fun. Sort of like do-it-yourself karaoke. Why not?
