I was coming back from the Hudson River after a good practice session on my bagpipes (where else can a New York bagpiper practice? Ideas?) and I passed through the Chelsea Market to get some brown rice sushi. I saw a piano in there and a little girl was playing it. "How delightful," I thought.
It seems this is part of an art installation in New York by an English artist where pianos are placed all over the city now until July 5th. Check out locations and get more info here.
When we don't think we make a difference then you read that someone came up with this idea. And it is realized. And people connect with it.
I am always amazed by people and music. It is a love connection. And I really enjoyed this clip from England where this installation took place and they gathered all types and sang Hey Jude to someone playing the piano. It makes me realize how quickly it is all over and how lovely that meanwhile I can be a part of this.
Maybe we should leave bagpipes all over town?!!

My good pal Cheline is in town from Austin for business and I met up for a West Village /Chelsea adventure. After all these years we still never run out of inanity to say to each to other. THAT, my friends is a relationship. What a great day.
We brunched at Cafe Cluny on West 4th and had great coffee and food. Cheline even walked out with their homemade granola. (This time she paid for it.)
We walked on the Highline and dropped down into Chelsea to see the Andy Goldsworthy show at the
Gallerie Lelong.
It was a quick duck into the space age Comme des Garçons store on W. 22nd to apply unisex cologne before walking to The Frying Pan on the Hudson. This is a GREAT place for drinks and burgers on a glorious day in NYC.
We then had a wonderful lunch at The Park on 10th Avenue. Another place I had never been to and suggested by an out of towner and I loved it. Such a lovely setting and good prices. We even had wonderful service. The pancakes looked good, but I had the tuna niçoise instead! Yay, me! But they do give you a complementary loaf of banana bread with butter. I had some.
Then a stroll through the Chelsea Market which I love more and more. Now that I have stopped comparing it to the Ferry Building Marketplace in San Francisco. (Nothing beats it.)
We passed by Frank Gehry's place and some other architectural wonderments.
Afterward, coffee at the Jane Hotel where the Titanic Survivors stayed...
We then met Sean and Skipper along the river walk and walked home.
Another perfect day in New York City. Gosh, I love it here...
