Most of the pianos I see in restaurants and bars rarely are played. Sure, there are a few exceptions, but they are rare indeed.

Two weeks ago I started moving my mother into an upscale assisted living facility, unfortuantely she only lived for 3 days then passed away. Anchor At Pocasset Bay is a AL place I've played on and off thru the years. In the rotunda they have a beautiful grand piano. While the residents were in the nearby dining room I sat and played during their lunch. It was obvious no one played it the admissions director came out of her office with her phone to video my playing. For the 2 days I played at lunch I became a bit of celebrity. I guess it just takes too much work to learn piano. I know I struggled for years to try to get it right.
