Play Me, I'm Yours: Freedom Center

I've had another Play Me, I'm Yours sighting! My coworker parks behind the National Underground Railroad Freedom Center, and whilst walking together we passed this beautiful little piano.

The effect is mesmerizing-- people are just compelled to play a piano that's sitting out in the open. Jeff took very little coaxing before sitting down to tickle the ivories.

Play Me, I'm Yours: Fountain Square

I met a friend for lunch on Fountain Square this week, and I found not one but two pianos in the Play Me, I'm Yours installment!

This first one is tucked back by Graeter's. Again, it was so so sweet to see a family engaging with this public piano!



This second one is nearer to the fountain, by the bandstand. No one was playing with the piano at the moment but it's still a beautiful sight.


These pianos are becoming the new Big Pig Gig sightings! (Speaking of which, I found another piggie-- look for it tomorrow!)

Play Me, I'm Yours

Check it out!


We had our first Play Me, I'm Yours sighting when we were visiting Findlay Market!

I've been in love with this concept since I first heard about it a few months ago. It's even more powerful when you walk by a random piano at the market and see a mom teaching her kid a chord or two!

Has anyone spotted any others?!

From the 9th-27th August, 35 street pianos will be distributed across Greater Cincinnati to celebrate the anniversaries of 90.9 WGUC (50 years), 91.7 WVXU (40 years), and 88.5 WMUB (60 years). Located in public parks, streets and squares, the pianos are for any member of the public to play and enjoy.
