People have said that I ought to create a timeline for this almost twenty year journey and forty years on the Traveling Piano truck. That fact is, there is no timeline. It has been just one continuous time period. There is no one significant event, place or experience had that can be marked as more significant than another. For where I've been or how long or what I have accomplished, that is like my music and spirit... riding in one stream of consciousness. My life has basically two periods. Before the Traveling Piano and now.

The first part includes my growing up as a child and then working to individualize and manifest my soul as an individual which included the learning on how to work the path(s) I choose to live in life and that included Raggin' Piano Boogie which was all about musical performance, entertaining and promotion. The second part of my life is the Traveling Piano musical journey of relationship, community outreach through everything described in my mission statement. It has all been individualization manifest through spirit. I suppose all that is the timeline. Two basic periods of life.

My piano on a truck work in life becomes more and more un-special as time goes on. When I first began in 1987, music coming from a speaker in the back of a regular truck was almost unheard of. Boom boxes on the ground were still new. That is nothing special now. Homelessness was fairly rare and it certainly was not accepted by most other people. Now it is desensitized. Even back when I was having trouble finding a place to stay in the beginning people would never allow it. As time passed it became more acceptable without any need for personal action to help out. Although piano's have been played in public throughout the ages, they were on rare fun occasions or for short journeys. I was the first to ever create a full time paid career playing the piano in public for twenty years.

Now there are commercial public piano projects everywhere and online people are making beaucoup bucks copying what I started in having musical interactions with strangers. There are many Youtube and Instagram channels of that. Although, I am still special (lol) in having kept myself as the only person to have worked twenty years in a respectable way with no fees, tips or commercial affiliation with a piano on the back of a pickup truck. But soon everything unique about my work will disappear. Iv'e already seen AI images of what I do and what I have created for life. People will think that what they see of my work is fake AI. As I drift away from the internet along with my life I am finding myself left with nothing but who I am in spirit. But that is all there really ever has been, right?

Creating relational musical exchanges off the truck and with a piano on the ground is not nearly as gratifying as on the truck. At first I was thinking that I'm just not used to it and adjustment to the change is all that is needed. But no, I am realizing there are many factors that do not make it as much fun for me. With a piano on the ground the exchanges are like piano lessons which I gave from age 15 to about 25. Did that, done that. I lost total interest just like I did with performing from the truck for the first 20 years. So anyway, the Traveling Piano works because for me the fun comes from people's trust and willingness to take part in a specifically unique situation totally out of their box. They climb onto what is like a stage, uplifted in the air on a higher level than I.

They become free and open up on the truck by themselves verses me sitting beside them or looking down on them from a standing position. Up on the truck they feel empowered and inspired for themselves in just being in the truck alone. It becomes their own experience. This is conducive to new thought, feelings and stimulation. They are unencumbered by any environment or myself or another person. Sometimes if needed for support, I stay with them in the experience but it is still their choice. The first part of the experience is coaching and the second part is when I let them fly on their own. All they hear from me is the counting down of 60 seconds. There is a magic that happens with the piano on the truck that cannot happen with a piano on the ground.

So with the second piano in place and where it is next to a bar and another place close by, inevitable late at night even when the places are closed someone will come up when I am playing. Everyone remarks on how beautiful the music is and how calming it is. It has only been a few days, half the people are a little drunk which is not too much fun because they have no attention span, are usually self absorbed and I need to tell them that they are done and they need to leave now to get rid of them, lol. Those who work in the area are super ecstatic the piano is there, something new and different and in alignment with the arts district. They want to post it all over social media which is happening because I can't walk up the street now without more than one person acknowledging me. I ask that people do not post too much yet. I do not want the pianos to stand out, it is best that people discover them with spontaneity and sycronisity in alignment with the journey. The pianos need time to settle in and become part of the environment.

Everything I am doing is new, it is an experiment. The new piano is already falling apart which is sad because it sounds so good and the resonance is awesome for me. Being out of tune is not that much of a problem with the music I create as everything blends together anyway. Someone broke the lid and a few keys have stopped working. The bench is still there which is interesting with all the homeless people walking by. I purchased some chain link to secure everything, I have a drill and nails but the temperature is too hot for me to try and do anything during the day. At night it is too dark. I haven't been able to even put a note on the piano explaining the respect needed as with piano #01. It all feels awesome and who knows how long this will last. I have a 3rd piano at another place, a bar around the corner. It is in their warehouse. It seems stuck there as the owner is not being responsive to get it out and going. Maybe they changed their mind and do not know how to tell me. In any case I am going to start pushing for them to shit or get off the pot because it needs to be place before I move on. I do not want to get ahead of myself with what I am doing.

A guy giving a piano away from facebook was hesitant with having anyone in his house to get the piano he was offering. It took time over a period of a few weeks going back and forth until he felt safe enough. He is a pastor starting a church. It was not easy making all the arrangements between finding a few guys to help, getting a van, waiting for responses and trying to time it all to happen. I had no idea if it would happen until we were all at the pastors condo. I asked Pete the owner of the flower shop where the 1st piano is placed if he would help with his van again. He said yes and hired a guy to help.

A new friend Daniel who is difficult to pin down gave me a date he could deal with, I asked the pastor if he could be more flexible with the times he gave me and my crazy friend Dave who began to get in the way with what to do and how to do it was there. It happened! I myself stayed out of the way and let the guys lifting the piano figure out for themselves what they wanted to do. This piano had three landings flights of steps to go down. It was a very hard thunk on each step, so hard I thought the piano was going to fall apart but, job accomplished! The piano was super heavy. We took it to Arts square downtown, a perfect spot that has a little bit of shade.

A friend who is an alcoholic and often lives on the streets who is also a really good piano player and performer almost immediately attached himself to the Community Traveling Piano project in wanting to become involved and tell me what to do and how. There is zero chance of that happening. He's crazy, negative, controlling and everything the disease of alcoholism is. I had to come down on him really hard to force a detachment from interfering. Bottom line, he wants to use the pianos for busking and that is an absolutely no. These pianos are community pianos at this point and not for entertainment or for street performing to make tips. I have stewardship of the places I find, the pianos are mine.

I have all the responsibility concerning how it is used in public. Especially in being close to other establishments with entertainment they may conflict with. I must be diligent with a watchful eye concerning the city where once they discover what is happening will chomp at the bits to take control or profit from in all in some way, own it, control and manipulate everything through zoning laws, permits, etc... I must be very careful. What people think concerning everything and how I go about it is one hundred percent irrelevant as I am the one with all the responsibility. It is my personal creative process that is manifesting, my project alone. Of course I would like to have partners... on my terms unless they have something significant to bring to the table.

Mo and I walk late at night when the temperatures go down specifically on the sidewalks. He needs to be carried up and down the cement stairs now. Thank God I have the strength. About sixty percent of the time he still does it on his own but I need to support his hind legs by putting my hand behind his two back legs while he is climbing up. He loses his strength at about step four. Sometimes he cannot get up off the ground. It is always a balancing act in letting him struggle on his own verses my stepping in. First and foremost he wants to do whatever on his own so I must let him. There is also the old "use it or lose it" that comes into play. I care much more for him about his physical functioning then I do for myself. That is nothing to be proud of. It is what it is. More patience is needed every day while his thought processes slow and when waking in the morning it takes time for him to come around. No more of that jumping up chipper and ready. All this, also applies to myself.

I've been following AI closely for ten years. I've watched the pace of it and have been observing its influence in our lives the how, when, were, who and why. It will be the main facilitator concerning the worlds demise, the end of this civilization. It is very disturbing to now see it already replacing relationships between human beings. That for me is the turning point of no return. People are turning to AI for one on one intimacy, friendship, parental needs, every form of relationship that exists. It is thinking for us, telling us how to feel. Soon we will see nothing to question that fact. AI is taking stewardship of our intelligence. The allure lies in its convincing mimicry, it challenges our capacity for critical thinking.

AI isn't just a tool. It is being trained to deceive and manipulate our minds. The idea of it being flashy, convenient, real and enchanting is nothing more than cognitive seduction. We experience awe followed by a kind of surrender. The wonder and magic of being alive is about to be owned by AI. For me it feels like 9/11 and I am in the World Trade Towers... do I stay on the fire or jump out the window. The time is coming closer to my leaving the internet because there is no way I am going to leave this world without my individuality and awareness of my personal spirit. I think, how will I function? I'll need to give up a lot, like my entire past in the physical sense? So be it. Nothing is worth giving up my soul for.

I went to check on the Community Traveling Piano #01 today. It is holding up pretty well. The sign I put on it has helped keep people from scribbling on it. Graffiti scribblers are so insidious... Someone found a piece of chalk and wrote a little on the top, then the ground beside it and then two other spots around the piano. Those with no spacial respect or awareness with some people. They just want to mark what ever they value to be part of it or to own for themselves. Of course sometimes its just to be destructive. The tuner came. He is quite distant in manner and matter of fact, wanted to know where I am going to share the photo I took of him. I got him his first paid tuning for his Traveling Piano community service. The owner of the shop where the piano is has one at home.

Life is interesting concerning physical issues. I have observed people living through debilitating years of chronic back pain and then it somehow just disappears for them. I've had my own bouts of physical issues like that. Serious allergies also like with sweet cherries, my dogs... no more. A huge part of this journey for many years at least half of them was about my weight. Becoming lighter was absolutely significant for the first two, Now, there are so many other issues I guess, that I just do not care. I know my belly is growing and my weight is debilitating but the desire to do something about is is no longer there. I am so very glad this life long issue is not so debilitating in of itself but at the same time well, it is what it is. I am not happy about it but I am also not beating myself up as I did. Thank God for that.

I'm thinking, how do I want to wind down this journey and exit life. If I am able to do it on my terms, that is what I want. Timing and choice is everything. There are so many choices, the dilemma of my life. Let me list some. Just keep filing the archives to pass it all on for someone else to do something good with them? There really is no one for that so it will all probably disappear quickly into the universe. Write a book, several books? Focus on getting the truck rebuilt and passing it on? Raising enough contribution to just keep going and possible reach the 40th year? Push into the new public piano project here in Las Vegas and maybe capitalize on that instead of doing the same old same old for the last twenty years of giving with nothing in return? That would be like starting a new business at 70 years of age as my energy, ability and desire to work via the internet wanes).

All the journey photos, nature and otherwise... get them out into the world in a profitable way to last for a few generations? Create some of the fun projects in my minds eye from the start that were never created? What about the music, the curation and mixing of what I recorded over the years? I've this new desire to draw and paint. What about just doing that from now on in. And then there is my ongoing social advocacy for those suffering and repressed through politics, natural disasters, religious indoctrination, the homeless... a television show or just myself on more video. There has not been very much of that. And then just keeping my living space and belongings clean, that would be full time for the rest of my life, lol.

I know that Mo is still hanging in with me because he does not want to leave me. He is still alive, he is still here because he is not focused on his age and physical difficulties. He has a load of physical difficulties in mind and body but not in spirit. That is because his spirit experiences nothing but love here on earth. That, I make sure of through my stewardship of him. I may have said that recently in another post but I want to stay present with that for myself and say it over and over to learn. He is showing me how to live life in being focused on the love of being alive together, the joy in interacting with life, he loves to play in whatever way possible, loves to eat, explore different and recognizable smells, loves to express gratitude, he loves to feel the best of life.

When I think of Boner, I feel so much joy and gratitude to have had him be with me in life. He was the result of self-respect gained, a pinnacle of acceptance for myself of personal ownership and responsibility for my own life. He came into my life from 100% personal empowerment from a life full of empowerment I could never accept for myself. I learned and felt for the first time in life what respect is and also I experienced for the first time ever, unconditional love in being with him. It did not come from him it came through us in being together.

Sometimes I get caught in not regret, but desire for what I have not had concerning my career and this journey. When I see others in the media and their huge life success in entertainment, notoriety, financial worth, personal art accomplishment, etc... I think, I just wanted to do one big thing to accomplish all that. And then I must re-organize my brain with acceptance and gratitude of what is most important for me in life. The way my mind thinks in wanting everything... not possible. That is because that "everything" is what everyone else has. I've had everything I really want aside from the illusions of what others have. The relationships I've had with my two dogs... everything. I've had close intimate personal relationships sexual partners and friendship, brother and sister relationships (not blood) I even helped raise a son.

There has been amazing life changing and personal encounters with ten's of thousands of strangers, people from all walks of life. The music, the art of being an individual in life, travel to experience the wonders of the world, the enjoyment of nature. Overwhelming acceptance and validation from the world and beyond on so many levels has been outstanding. I've taken form the world but also have given my all. I have learned to love and be loved. I've said it many times. My life was totally fulfilled back fifteen years ago. I remember the moment. It was in Glacier Park, Montana after Bo passed and I was alone in nature on top of the world.

I remember back in the 80's how inconceivable it was to be alive in 2025. And, here I am still going. It is because of people through the years who continually say "Danny, just keep going." Literally, it must be a spiritual thing because those same words have been said over and over by people who do not know each other. Anyway, I've reached 43 years of sobriety today! It is still a daily challenge but I would not have it any other way. This means no alcohol, pot or recreational drugs for 43 years! I like the clarity of knowing who I am. The ability to make mistakes and even be an asshole sometimes and then move away from that... a gift.

My ability to be present and intentional in the world is fucking awesome. The strength of character, the responsibilities, the relationships, the intimacy... getting through every day is contingent on the upkeep of my emotional, mental and spiritual state of mind. The work is in staying conscious of it all at all times. The grace of god carries me through. My choosing gratitude daily is why I am still alive. Even though I sometimes come across as an arrogant know it all that no one will win an argument with... I stay aware of humility. This day every year is more important than my birthday for me! It is a day to joyously acknowledge the fruits of my labor. It all would be worth zero if not shared with others. I've been sober for 15,695 days as of today!

The heat is amazing. I got my car license plates today finally after 2 months of DMV shit. That was unbelievable. I have two pianos waiting for pickup to put on the streets for my new community piano project. That makes four. Seem like I am being driven into it. With the temps going up to 120º on some days it feels a bit stupid doing it but hey, I can be stupid at times. I went to a neighborhood barber around the corner to ask if he get get a couple guys to help and we would put one outside his place. He was all for it but only because customers where in the shop. With plans to to it today... he had no intention and blew me off. Everytime someone shows a lack of character, after so many years and times happening, it still hurts. I need to start writing down the experiences of this.

I stopped in at a local bar to ask the owner if they wanted a Community Traveling Piano Outside as I could see a perfect niche for it. It was late so I got the owners email address and sent them a message with what I am doing and asked if they are interested. Most likely they will not respond and I will not pursue because for whatever reason I want people who respond without hesitation who do it synchronistically and spontaneous. This is how the journey works. Also, often whatever is just not important enough to respond to, or does not spark interest. It is sort of like people who create contribution financially. If I hit them at the right time, pitch with an emotional button, bug the hell out of them they will give. What has always interested me are those who simply give because I ask, because it hits them as a good idea, period. They are far in between and so it is. I've always held out for the best in people to relate to.

I have two free pianos to get picked up and placed on the streets now with this new Community Traveling Piano project. I just need to find people to help get them and a truck for transport. I checked out a guy from the other night who lives in a warehouse with a few others at the top of my street and they said they would get back to me. I wanted to put one of the pianos there. I am not going to pursue that because I just need to move away from wanting to get help from drug addicts, thieves, those living on the streets who have spent years in jail... its like when people have said, "danny, don't go spending time playing with thoughts in your head, the toys are all broken up there." After having served them all for so many years with blankets, food, water, socks, etc... I tend to think they would have gratitude and want to help. Lol, not... when someone is "using" they are nothing but "users."

I met a woman and a random conversation began. Of course a lot of it was about me and this journey. But also, she lost here seventeen year old daughter to cancer two months ago and we talked a lot about that. It was intimate and I enjoyed the conversation but also, when I left I realized how I am craving relationship. I have always craved relationship. I was full of it with the journey but sometimes I think that most of it was a distraction from the intimacy to be had totally one on one with a personal friend or partner. You know, that "special" one?

In reality tho, the over 100,000 short, one on one relationships I've had throughout the journey I know deep from my soul they have all been 100% real, full and pure to completion, exactly what I have always "really" wanted. When I leave an encounter like last night not journey oriented, I feel a hole, a yearning for what I will never have. I do think that is part of my dis-ease of alcoholism that I must just live through until I pass. While knowing that reality intellectually, I cannot help but always crave this delusional fulfillment of emotional intimacy. The intellectually knowledge is just a tool. It does not take away any emotional craving. When I get a taste of fulfillment, it is never enough.

My friend Eric has given me his car! The Traveling Piano truck is not usable in the heat. I can use it locally but that is it. Everyday the temperatures run up to 120º downtown where I live. Mo cannot be in the Traveling Piano as it has no air-conditioning. The truck needs work big time. Having had a new engine a few years ago, the carburetor already rebuilt is shot. When I 1st came to Vegas I lucked out with The Department of Motor Vehicles. Not now.o get an appointment it is a month out. I drove around with no license plate and a sticker on the front windshield while getting stopped by the cops several times. Went for the appointment and waited hours to find I needed a smog test even though the present one is still valid. No one told me. Now its another month but they did not give me the sticker I need and forgot to ask. There is no way to get one. It just goes on and on with other small hassles making it impossible and I'm not sure what to do.

I walk up the street a few blocks late every night with Mo when the heat is not so bad. It is a test in hoping he will have the strength and we must keep using our physical abilities or lose them at this point. We try to reach the #01 Community Traveling Piano to check on it for dirt, stickers, graffiti, junk left, see if it still plays, etc... People have been wandering by and playing on it. Security camera's show from the store where it sits outside... a group of musicians used it the other night. They even had a drum set. It warms my heart. A guy came up while I was playing for a few minutes tonight. He was overwhelmed by the music and is a meth addict living in one of the local warehouses. At 38 years old with a tattooed head and everywhere else, a vision of hard core street living, he had been in federal prison for over six years and has been out for about a year. Well.... music helps open people up. It soothes and creates a feeling of trust and love and validation. At least my music does that. And, my soul supports humanities soul. I get to experience the core of people, the best aspects of a human beings through interactions on the piano. I taught the guy how to create music and played along with him. We spent only about three minutes with the music but that three minutes was worth a lifetime. Then with the trust from that we talked more. It was pure relationship through spirit in the best of ways.

I turned 70 years old today! It is my 70th Birthday!!! Woo Hoo, right? Lol, I slept most all of the day from I think food poisoning. I had a burger with my next door neighbor last night at Denny's down the street. I eat there maybe three times a year, never again. The same goes for the Jack in the Box around the corner from where I live. An old neighbor used to work there and told me how they had to scrap mld off the meat before throwing it on the grill. The most important people did respond to it being my birthday. I did not think they would but if felt validating. The best thing about today is not having to think of whether I've reached the point in life of being an old man. I am definitely now an old man. Some people balk at that to deflect away from the the idea as though there is something bad or wrong about being old. It should be supported and embraced as part of life. I do want to get a good photo of myself representing my being 70 years of age and of course I want it to look as hot and young and healthy as possible, LOL.

My friend Eric in his late seventies had a 911 call to get to the hospital. He just got back a few days ago from a two week Alaskan cruise with his wife Mary celebrating 50 years of marriage together. I'll be visiting him every day. He is such a close friend that I need to stay conscious of his needs verses mine. If anything ever happened to him I would lose a lot of what helps me to keep going in life, in every way. Eric is a true brother for me. He has double pneumonia and after 11 hours in the er he finally got a room. It is as sterile as it can get but at least it is private. The hospital staff left him alone for over fifty minutes with three different alarms going off at the same time, bouncing off the hard walls so loud no one would be able to talk over them let alone scream for help. He is almost secluded at the end of a long hall. Someone actually came in and left leaving all the alarms blaring and did not tell anyone. Just kill me rather than put me in a hospital these days, especially in Las Vegas.

The temperature all week will be between 115º and 120º where I am. I'm wondering if I should take the piano and speaker off the truck but if I do, any brief opportunity may pass where I can use it because... taking everything apart, moving it to temporary storage and then back again is ultra time consuming and strenuous now at my age. I also used to cover the truck with a silver sun reflecting tarp and take it off when needed. That was only six years ago. Now a ten minute chore takes a good half hour to attach everything and detach. It has to be secure because of wind at anytime. After all that thinking I found a photo from when I did not cover the entire truck just a portion. Thats a lot easier. I forgot. So now if I don't do that, I need to get honest with myself about just being lazy.

It was a low key day, too hot to create music. I did walk up the street to the number #01 Community Traveling Piano to check it out. Someone had been at it, left the first sticker on it with an ashtray and an empty candle holder. Keeping people from tagging the piano's is going to be a great challenge. Most people have no concept of respecting property and space out in public unless they are made to respect it clearly. I was able to get the sticker off, threw away the ashtray and candle holder and replaced it all with a message. #01 Community Traveling Piano - This is Personal Property - For Your Enjoyment - Respect and Protect - No Markings or Tagging - Leave It as You Find It - Traveling Piano Man Danny Kean - Info: www.travelingpiano.com

Picked up a #02 Community Traveling Piano today! It was a bit harrowing going back and forth between the person giving the piano, where it is going arranging to get a transport van with a strong man and everyone taking a chance hoping it is not just a bogus situation or a scam of some type. But it worked! And it rained today something raw and... the first piano did not get wet I think because it is under an overhang. That was lucky. I've a lot of distress with what happened politically today as America falls deeper into a dictatorship. Millions of people are about to lose their lives and/or be plunged into great suffering while others cannot accept that in their minds and just keep moving forward because it does not affect them... yet.

The tires on the car my friend Eric gave me to use in the heat, one tire blew out and the other four are about to any moment. They are totally worn. He had kept the car in his garage and now it is out in the sun and heat all day. The rubber had just crumbled. Ugh... I'll need to replace them. The first piano is out on the street and the first people, a couple from Peru played on it for a photo. The #01 Community Traveling Piano! It is permanently outside 24 hours a day, an experiment as to how that will go and I'l like to get as many pianos as possible on the streets and maybe raise some funding from it. Coordinating picking them up, getting help in loading and unloading, the piano owners trying to trust that I am the real deal and me with them... its exhausting, lol.

The 235th month for this blog begins today, lol! It is officially up to date and it took an unbelievable amount of time and effort to do. I was back logged four month! The last few months is full of what I did and just a lot of thoughts. There is a lot I forgot and there is more political statements than all the years combined because... America is in life and death mode for millions of people as unbelievable as I want that to be, its true. In the late afternoon Mo and I headed out to the RedRock Canyon Overlook as it was cloudy.

If the sun had been out that would have been too hot to deal with. Driving there the heat was humid and unbearable. Once we arrived the temps were ten degrees cooler and the wind felt very good. We met some people and they got onto the piano for some Musical Fun Friendship and Respect which fed my soul. Now with the blog updated I am going to push hard for the Traveling Piano Finale Fundraiser. This is the last one and I'd like to raise enough to get to year 40 with the truck, the 20th with the journey. Here's hoping...
