More Than Music From This Piano

Wandering through Hickory Flat Pottery,  a wonderful gallery in the North Georgia mountains . . . . there's a piano that almost becomes part of the art simply by displaying it.

I wonder if the pottery would look as enticing if it were just sitting on a shelf?

And . . . I wonder if the piano still draws people to want to play it, now that it's mostly a display stand. Or maybe it's even more alluring to pianists because it's covered with art.

In fact, Cindy (the potter and owner) says that people will carefully move all the pottery and other art just to have a chance to play. That's a lot of trouble . . . but pianos have that kind of magnetic attraction--they need to be played. Even if it involves carefully relocating a lot of pottery.


Another context for this piano, and it fits right in . . .
