the piano man

What's happened to the piano man any news?

Ask to have this moved to NEWS and you might get more joy.  The latest I found was that he's possibly norwegian.  http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/kent/4642919.stm

People in the news section are also capable of interesting a lively discussion - you might even enjoy it! :-)

Vinny - come on man!  Family site and no warning that the link was sexually explicit!  It's funny and everything, but should only be viewed by over 16s really, and it's not particularly helpful to the thread.  And on a Sunday too - in the school holidays!  Naughty Vinny I say!

Perhaps though, this was put in CB in the hope of getting that sort of post.  Maybe I am yet again demonstrating that I just don't understand CB.  I really must learn to stick to the news that people put in news.

The piano man; I read he is Norwegian a very strange sad story lies behind a man from 1895 , a photo printed in the Times dated March 1895 is identical to the photo of the piano man printed in the times this year. The Times said in 1895 a well dressed man was found wet and disorientated on Adolphus Street, New Cross by Edward White Benson, there was no labels on his clothes and on his person his only possession a photo of himself, (the photo the times printed in 1895) no one at the time could communicate with him, so he was placed in Holloway Sanatorium where he spent the rest of his life. He scratched pictures of a piano(the only photo of one of his drawings to survive looks more like a clavichord) on the sanatorium walls using a stone!

he suddenly started talking, said he was German and couldn't play the piano very well, and has been sent home. So that's that.
