None. It's one of those things that pops up and just leaves you to wonder, found randomly stranded on the internet with no attribution.

A companion photo to CG's soldier in the woods:



quote:
The Piano in the Woods

- From CNN

Was it a theft? A prank? A roundabout effort to bring some holiday cheer to the police? Authorities in Harwich, Massachusetts, are probing the mysterious appearance of a piano, in good working condition, in the middle of the woods.

Discovered by a woman who was walking a trail, the Baldwin Acrosonic piano, model number 987, is intact -- and, apparently, in tune.

My money's on elves. It has to do with the elves. You know the old story: the sounds of delightful singing in the forest. Humans trudging and tripping through the bracken to discover the source of the music - they get just a glimpse of the charming circles of elves dancing and singing and the *poof* and the elves disappear leaving the humans with a story which everybody else pooh-poohs and attributes either to drink or an overabundance of childish credulousness.

Well sir, in a day when, curiously, Churches and Cathedrals respond to dwindling congregations by installing massive tracker organs against their west walls and spending mega-bucks on professional music programs it appears that the elves too have fallen victim to the mantra of 'standards, standards, standards'. No elf choir is complete nowadays without its Baldwin Acrosonic.

Except that when the elf choir goes *poof* the evidence remains. Once again the pursuit of excellence finds itself in conflict with First Principles.

It's gonna take some re-thinking, this one.

Piano for the Bedridden
Now that would be a delightful xmas...

"The photo above comes from the Spaarnestad collection in the Nationaal Archief – the National Archive of the Netherlands. The image is sourced to Great Britain and dated 1935, but carries no explanatory text other than “Piano especially designed for people who are confined to bed.”"

huge “piano-playing” Teddy bear

Poinsettias lined the walkway leading to the comfortable 1900s Florida Beachside Bungalow of Realtor Melissa Latty. The festively decorated home was filled with Christmas cheer, including a huge “piano-playing” Teddy bear that brought smiles to visitors’ faces as they entered the front door.
