Well after someone got their knickers in a knot over my habit of collecting burning piano shots and posting them throughout my blog on occasion, well one particular one anyway, but much like all the others - dutifully deleted said one on request - this live video from Mythbusters recent episode fills the gap - the magic starts happening around 2mins 50 secs in - but why not watch the lead up as well? Testing the theory that the piano would 'explode' under heat as the strings are so tight - but you'll have to watch and see (on the Discovery Channel website - but also on YouTube):

A haunting moment from The Pianist...
And a little reminder of a Rachmaninoff piano concerto no.1...
A few things brought me back to playing piano again lately, last night was playing a Beethoven sonata (Opus 2 No 1)then Satie's "Trois Gnosiennes", it does something to me inside, it feels good, I'm convinced it's what kept me sane during some extreme events in life.
Saw a fab Melbourne chick (Caroline Almonte) playing the Rachmaninoff concerto No 1 with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra last Wednesday night at the Sidney Myer Music bowl. She looked the part, all curvy and elegant in her blood red evening gown, the her glittery chandalier earrings, I watched in amazement as she managed to pedal in her silver high heels!
Hilarious photo of her and Miki at left, for goodness sake....turn down the fan!!
