I am currently on the hunt for the pianos that comprise the 2013 version of Sing for Hope's 88 piano installation that has taken over New York city. In
I am Opus the Octopus and I Love Music, I chronicled my visit to the piano that is located outside the Dairy in Central Park. Today's post is about the piano in Times Square.

A small confession -- I typically don't love to visit Times Square as it is usually packed and, for the most part, it's the out-of-town visitors who are thronging the area. I've been twice in the past month -- the first time to see the Star Wars fighter (biggest Lego model EVER) and the second time to see the piano. The fighter was a little easier to find -- occupying as it did a prime place near the stairs that serve as a gathering place for folks who want to get above the fray. The piano, on the other hand, was tucked off to the side -- right next to the
Rickshaw Dumplings kiosk if you want a good hint as to how to find it. When I did find it, there was a couple figuring out their photo shoot and a fellow piano stalker waiting, like me, until they left. My Instagram post is both a photo shoot of the photo shoot and of the photographer waiting to do a photo shoot. Cute, eh?

Maxine Nienow has written that her
intention was to create a painting that Mexicans and Latinas will respond to when they see it. I think she has accomplished that and much, much more with the dedication to her Grandma and the quote that she included on one side. It resonates.
