There's a story to this one. A fellow came in the door looking for work. When we asked him what kind of work he did, he said he customizes motorcycles, RVs, and paints the sides of buildings. HMMM. None of our crew owns a Harley or an RV, and our building just had a fresh coat of paint.

He said, "Why don't you let me loose on one of those shiny black pianos?" I suppose I raised my eyebrows and twisted my face a bit when I thought about it.

He whips out a portfolio of all kinds of things he'd painted and, as he said, he could paint almost anything! Well, I asked him exactly what he thought he could paint on a piano. He said, "How about some of those little note things?"

Well, that was how it happened. I pulled out a songbook so he could see what a treble clef sign and those little "note things" looked like and, next thing you know, out pops this one-of-a-kind piano!

This piano would be perfect in a recreation room, down by the pool table, over by the jukebox, or as a focal point in your living room if you want to watch your friends' faces when they walk in!!

No, there won't be another one like it. This is one unique, interesting piece.

Don't ponder too long.
