Nah. It has no aluminum plate.

I do believe I know where that pig is (was). It's in the "Pacific Place" shopping center in downtown Seattle. Every year the city does a thing called "Pigs on Parade", I think it's some sort of benefit for the Pike Place Market. There are dozens of pigs scattered around the city.

Yep, that's how I found it the first time.

PJ, you don't get out of it quite that easy - it is indeed an aluminum plate.  We visited our friends in RB who lost their home I referred to in the fire thread. This is what's left of their 1910 Steinway M(?):  The metal bits in the upper right are what's left of the stairway railing the piano sat under. | |||

It is. they had no warning the fire was coming, literally just happened to wake up as the fire was approaching at about 2:00am Tuesday. They had enough time to leave with four photo albums and the clothes on their backs. They live in a really nice neighborhood - large homes on large lots. Every house surrounding them was virtually untouched. The fire either jumped to get them, or a narrow finger reached their house through the brush, it's hard to say. I'm going up to help sift rubble as soon as Altoid's back in school. | |||

So sad....thank goodness they got out. How devastating.

I'm almost certain I used to pass this one every day on the way to work. It made my heart ache.

That "Cat Piano" picture is ALL over the 'net - but where on earth did you find an ANIMATED version?!? That's a new one on me. Good find!

Now someone just needs to add the act chorus from the "Meow Mix" ad. I suppose this has been posted before, but I actually got to see it when I stayed at the Peabody Hotel in Memphis this weekend: Francis Scott Key's Knabe.    It's on the mezzanine balcony overlooking the lobby. No one is allowed to play it, of course. In the lobby, they have a Yamaha grand that is either playing itself or in the eveining has someone live tickling its keys. I snuck to try a Young Chang grand in the ballroom on the top floor. My God what an awful piano. Talk about PSOs!
