Play It Again, Sam

Spring in the City

There's a piano just by the stairs that lead down into Bank Station. It's part of the City of London Festival and it has a big sign that says: "Play Me!"

A woman was playing it this morning as my bus went by - her bags to the side, a few commuters milling about and watching her with cigarettes in their hands. I heard a few notes but I have no clue what the piece was. She looked like she had blocked out the world and there was only the music.

I wish I could play the piano.

I wish I could play too. I hope to learn one day. I've always thought of myself as a frustrated musician.

I heard about those on the radio the other day, it's good to see they're getting used. I think there's one at Hampstead Heath that I could check out on the way home.
