better than big

We stepped into F.A.O. Schwarz again today and just in time to watch a concert at the Big Piano. Sure, they played the standard "Chopsticks" and "Heart and Soul," and those were pretty great. But then they pulled out the big guns and favored us with these classical numbers:

"The Blue Danube"



"Rondo Alla Turca"



Beat that, Tom Hanks.

I totally NEED one of those for my piano lessons. I got vinyl to make a piano mat, but to have it actually play and light up would be divine!

(It's almost like DDR or something.)

I like how you could hear the some lady talking about how proud their mother's must be. I sat by your sister Katie at Jimmy Breitenstein's farewell today.

That was cool! Now, that would also kill two birds with one stone... workout AND piano practice! Move over Guitar Hero!

So cool. Rondo alla Turca makes my fingers tired...imagine how in shape those guys have to be! I think I need one of those. Also, I love Big!

That was a much more exciting rendition of the Rondo than even Mrs. Hurst could pull off, even with all that Bennett scandal going on. :) (Just had to throw in some P&P since that song always reminds me of the BBC version)
