Play Me, I'm Yours Pianos

First we had moose, then snowmen and now pianos have been scattered around Toronto.  There are 41 in total, each decorated by local artists to represent one of the countries participating in the 2015 Pan Am Games.  On each piano is painted the words "Play Me, I'm Yours", encouraging the public to interact with and actually sit down and play the pianos.

As we wandered around looking for pianos, we came across several where people were in the process of playing them.  We passed by the colourful piano in Berczy Park, just missing an impromptu concert by an 8 year old prodigy.  Apparently he gave quite the performance and a crowd gathered to listen and clap before his mother dragged him away.  Hearing this made it too embarrassing for me to try the only thing I know how to play anymore, which is "Heart and Soul".

These pianos are a great way to generate awareness and interest for the Pan Am Games.  We'll have to keep our eyes open for more of them.  I found a map of their locations here: http://www.globaltoronto.com/pan+am+games+set+to+spread+music+across+toronto/6442674054/story.html
