[Dixielandjazz] Crappy pianos - the solution

[pat ladd]

a new piano, so the old upright wasdispatched in style by the steam catapult

Hi,

Pete Cook and Dudley Moore used a sequence firing a piano, and  I believe 
the pianist, from a flat top at the end of one of their series. "Not only 
but also". perhaps?

I am surprised that there are that many pianos left as in the UK in the 60`s 
or thereabouts piano smashing races became very popular at village fairs 
etc.  there would be a metal ring about 18inches in diameter and the piano 
had to be smashed into small enough pieces to put them through the ring..

The whole idea horrified me. About like burning books. The barbarians are 
inside the gates.

Cheers

Pat
