Mysterious Music

_41148637_piano203.jpg

From the UK:

Dripping wet and deeply disturbed, the smartly-dressed man was discovered walking along a windswept road beside the sea. Over the next few days he steadfastly refused, or was unable, to answer the most simple questions about who he was or where he had come from. It was only when someone in hospital had the bright idea of leaving him with a piece of paper and pencils that the first intriguing clue about the stranger's past emerged. He drew a detailed sketch of a grand piano. Excited, hospital staff showed him into a room with a piano and he began to skilfully perform meandering, melancholy airs. Several weeks later he has still not spoken a word, expressing himself only through his music.

Read More. The authorities have published his photo in the hope that someone may come forward and erm....help him count his tip money... (sorry, bad taste, I know)

I just know that someone is gonna make a movie about this. I'd go and see it. A cross between The Bourne Identity and Shine.

Martine, I so often get my `music in Tokyo` news from you so thought I would ask...do you know when the John Butler Trio will be playing in Tokyo? I know they are playing Fuji Rock, but cant find any info on post festival venues. Thanks!

Hi Nicky,

Sad news, I'm afraid. The promotor doesn't think it'll be worth it. Phil forwarded my email to him in the off chance that maybe he'll change his mind, but no news on that for a while so doesn't look good.....
