If you go wandering the streets of downtown Minneapolis and downtown St. Paul this summer, you might be surprised to find some old, beat-up, yet artistically-revived pianos here and there, and you can just sit down and play them, like I did at the two pianos above (Photos by Tom Dixon!). The project brought together local artists and businesses (thanks, Russ!) to add some music to downtown street life. Okay, not all the keys work and maybe the pedals stick and the pianos overall might be a bit out of tune, but you'll find out how good it is to play in the open air. They will just be there until the middle of September, then they go off to piano heaven, so enjoy it, as players or listeners, while you can.

You should have made a video so we could hear you playing.
I haven't figured out yet how to record videos on my iPhone yet. That was what I was using to take the pictures.
