Cincinnati Piano Installation (with photos)
The other day my friend Nathan randomly encountered a lonely upright piano with the inscription "Play Me, I'm Yours," and conveniently took a picture using his cell phone.
"Wow, UC," he stated on this posted photo, "you're pretty random, too." (The first random Cincinnati photo was a picture of a gigantic florescent pink, yellow, and purple stuffed bird on the corner of some neighborhood street, just in case you're wondering.)
What was this, exactly? How random is this? And then I casually listened to the local NPR station online yesterday and discovered that "Play Me, I'm Yours" is the title of a (celebratory) interactive piano art installation:
"Cincinnati Public Radio is hosting 'Play Me, I'm Yours' as a celebration of a combined 150 years of broadcasting by WVXU, WGUC and WMUB. Each station is marking an important anniversary milestone this year. For WVXU, it's 40 years. WGUC, 50 and WMUB, 60."
