Piano show on public television

[Farrell]

I watched this a few months ago. It was OK. I don't recall anyone playing a
whole piece. Kinda like little snippets of top 40 stuff. But entertaining on
a shallow level. The most fun was guessing what kind of piano was the
"PianoGrand" piano (hint: watch closely at the fallboard - you will see
it!). It seemed to me the kinda thing that Liberache (sp?) would have been
proud to participate in.
