What in tarnation is that on top of that piano?

Most Burning Man pix I've seen involves the subject(s) being more like ChickGrand's picture; i.e. nude.

But in this case, I'm glad they're not!

Ah, that would be ... art? (along with a super-soaker!)

Were you thinking of something like this?

I especially like the rear-view mirror on the piano...

Unfortunately, I was....

As for what's on top of that grand, I'll take you at your word that its "Art"...

Give the young lady a break. She's just taking a moment to practice while dressing for church.

From another forum: this poor piano was being burned to dispose of it as it had a cracked plate. Burning it wasn't the best idea...

That's right - it was veneer covered cement!

It was a "Lauter", apparently in business from 1903 to 1918.

That's a new one for me!

I wish I'd taken pictures (over time) of the concert grand an eccentric neighbor in Norman put in his garden. It initially looked quite good, but weathered quickly. Last time I saw it, it looked little better.
