You may post a link, just standing by itself as -- supposedly -- a posting.    [ ? ]

But I am sure not going to click it if you won't even supply one sentence to indicate what the h___ we are getting ourselves into.

Unclear thinking ??? ???......"I" know you can trust me......but "YOU" don't.....

This is of additional images from WARPS..(World Association for Ruined Piano Studies...Mostly Ross Bolleter)...but these are another member...

This man is an Aussie who, with Stephen Scott, composition professor at Colorado College, formed up a group to do music with pianos in the condition they were found in...inc sitting in the rain....

Bolleter is most well known for Crow Country...an internationally acclaimed album.....(Check out the five songs on Amazon.com....
