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. |
July 01, 2025Las Vegas, NevadaThe 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... |
