Apparently 60 pianos were scattered all around New York City from 6/21/10 – 7/5/10 as part of a unique art installation brought to the city by the organization Sing for Hope. The installation was a joint venture with a British artist, Luke Jerram, and was named “Play Me, I’m Yours”.
All types of art installations are popping up around cities across the world of late it seems, but to me this one seemed genuine and inspiring. In a sea of cars, trains and hectic, frantic people rushing everywhere, 60 pianos were able to dot the landscape and connect with people in the city in a new/unique way. Whether you sat down to play it, or whether you just saw it and wondered why it was there, there was still some level of connection made. Pretty cool if you ask me.
To top it all off, Cincinnati will be hosting the Play Me, I’m Yours exhibition in August this year, so keep an eye out!

It’s super webpage, I was looking for something like this
I and also my buddies were checking out the best suggestions found on your web blog and so at once I got an awful feeling I had not expressed respect to the website owner for those strategies. All the young boys are actually for that reason joyful to learn them and have now seriously been taking pleasure in these things. Appreciate your actually being very thoughtful and then for using variety of outstanding subject areas millions of individuals are really desperate to learn about. Our own sincere regret for not saying thanks to you earlier.
This is getting a bit more subjective, but I much prefer the Zune Marketplace. The interface is colorful, has more flair, and some cool features like ‘Mixview’ that let you quickly see related albums, songs, or other users related to what you’re listening to. Clicking on one of those will center on that item, and another set of “neighbors” will come into view, allowing you to navigate around exploring by similar artists, songs, or users. Speaking of users, the Zune “Social” is also great fun, letting you find others with shared tastes and becoming friends with them. You then can listen to a playlist created based on an amalgamation of what all your friends are listening to, which is also enjoyable. Those concerned with privacy will be relieved to know you can prevent the public from seeing your personal listening habits if you so choose.
