more fun than the waterfalls

A British artist is putting 60 pianos in New York's parks and public spaces this summer - to be played by anyone passing by.

And even those who don't tickle the ivories can enjoy the installation: Musical luminaries like Alicia Keys may pound out a tune or two.

"I just imagine that there's going to be a lot of people ready to express themselves," said artist Luke Jerram, who has launched the "Play Me, I'm Yours" program in cities from London to Sao Paulo since 2008.

"The pianos act as a blank canvas for others' creativity."

Starting June 21, the uprights will be scattered all around the city, including Times Square, the Coney Island Boardwalk and quieter spots like Brooklyn's Fort Greene Park and the Bronx's Van Cortlandt Park.
