    Playing a piano outside on a frozen lake in Finland under a Northern Lights display. I hope it is okay to post something like this. Other than that, I find myself speechless.

    I liked it but wonder how many pianos they'll find at the bottom of the lake this spring.

    In the book "American Gods", by Neil Gaiman, there is an episode that takes place in the town of Lakeside, Wisconsin, where every year, when the lake freezes over, they take an old car and park it out on the lake. Then the townspeople place bets on when the car, at the end of the season, will finally break through the ice and sink. The story is much more sinister than that but be it piano or car, let's take bets on when this piano will fall through the ice and join all the other old dead pianos at the bottom of the lake.

    Hi, we take bets on c when the ice will be off the lake!  The one closest has to by ice cream for a party.  DNR won't allow such things left in the ice or you get fined!
     I'm all for the northern lights!
