Piano In The Park by

© C J Lewis. In a park close to where I live a company has placed a piano with the words: Play Me, I’m Yours sign written on it…a great idea…but bet the neighbours living in close proximity don’t think so…lol…sorry it’s a little out of focus…have a slight tremor in hands these days due to a few brain injuries…such is life :)

    hey beautiful lady I heard about this on the news there are 30 of them all over the place out as far as Parramatta Is it the Music Festival they just want persons to enjoy music
    most my pics are blurry also God gave us DohBEE so we don’t feel bad about it
    Much abundance to you CJ reminds me that there are bubblers close to home love it

  • I don’t watch tv … well it’s on it the background for the sake of human voices … but don’t actually watch it … or really listen to it for that matter … I should just turn it off altogether and play music … better for the soul … so interesting to hear it was on the news … as far out as Parramatta …WOW … no Music Festival on but Sydney Festival is on at present … hope they leave them there after the festival is finished end of January.

    What is DohBEE ? … never heard that one before . There’s heaps of bubblers close to home …. RB started in Oz … Melbourne … it’s an Australian company/site that has branched out internationally … glad to know you are here too grarbaleg. God bless you :)xx

    That is SO cool. In Brussels they wouldn`t have even lasted 5 mins!
    Brain injuries? Why don`tcha stop by for a quick scan? My waiting room`s full of Belgian chocolates!

  • Isn’t it just BB … waiting for the drums to be installed next … lol Apparently part of the Sydney Festival that’s on at the present till end of January…30 of them scattered around parks from Sydney to Parramatta (that’s about 50 miles – don’t ask me to convert that to kilometres, wouldn’t have a clue – google it :)

    I’ll get my broom out and be over before you can blink for that brain scan … I LOVE belgian chocolates … I’ll collect that rocket while I’m visiting … lol (nothing too serious lived with it since 2 – just can’t recognise faces sometimes – could work with someone for years … not see them for a couple of years … bump into them & wouldn’t know them from Adam … actually comes in pretty handy sometimes … lol )

    what a great idea!! hope the piano will last for a long time :D

  • Pat, I hope they leave them there … part of the Sydney Festival apparently … 30 of them in parks from Sydney in a 50 mile radius … trying to get ppl into music more which is a brilliant idea – vibrations, energy etc … you know what I’m talking about. Thye’ve got a raincoat for ppl to pull over them when it rains too … lol :)

    what a brave soul to share the instrument of tuning into music ;) xoxoxo

  • A very brave company indeed…was there again today and a rock band was playing around it…lol…they were ok…but a woman walked past with a child and heard her say to friend: there was a young girl this morning playing classical on it and my little one came and said: mummy that sounds is so beautiful … lol … thought that was great … get the children in tune young :) xoxoxo
