Big Pianos Two big pianos: one used as a neon sign, and the other hidden back in the trees. I talked to the manager and he said that the one used as a sign has been there since 1962 and that it is a grand piano that had been gutted and had neon tubing put around it (makes me want to go by and see it at night).
The one in the woods just made me think of the Muffler Man and wonder if he ever took up piano. [Harmony, 08/03/2010]
