Re: You HAVE to watch this one…

Since this is somewhat OT, but in keeping with the above link:
About 25 years ago, a good friend of mine, Robert Doerschuk (noted music writer and keyboard performer) and another pianist were passing by a major piano emporium in San Francisco. I watched as they went in to the store, sat down at two Grand Pianos and played "Maple Leaf Rag" in Bb and C simultaneously (well, could have been some other close clashing keys...) and walked out.
The storekeepers were flummoxed!
(as I am now flummoxed by the fact that "flummoxed" is in my spell check!)
