The
work was created with commuters and passers-bye from the Haymarket Bus Station
in Newcastle UK. Most of the participants are non players, many had never
touched a piano before, we just convinced them to donate a note or two. Thanks
to all who participated. The work was funded by The Arts Council of England,
and Nexus Art, with support in kind from MITES Liverpool. and a special thanks
to Tyneside Piano Company for agreeing to install a mini grande in the bus
station.

Imagine
------------------
A man is struck by a bus on a busy street in New York City.
He lies dying on the sidewalk as a crowd of spectators gathers around.
"A priest. Somebody get me a priest!" the man
gasps.
A policeman checks the crowd
- no priest, no minister, no man of God of
any kind.
"A PRIEST, PLEASE!" the dying man says again.
Then out of the crowd steps a little old Jewish man of at
least eighty years of age.
"Mr. Policeman," says the man, "I'm not a
priest. I'm not even a Catholic.
But for fifty years now I'm living behind St.
Elizabeth's Catholic Church on First Avenue,
and every night I'm listening to
the Catholic litany.
So maybe I can be of some comfort to this poor dying
man."
The policeman agreed and brought the octogenarian over to
where the dying man lay. He kneels down, leans over the injured and says in a
solemn voice,
"B-4. I-19. N-38. G-54. O-72. . ."

A pair of chickens
walk into a public library, find the librarian and say, 'Buk Buk BUK.' The
librarian decides that the chickens want three books, and promptly gives them
some. Without further ado, the chickens walk out.
Around midday, the two chickens are back and looking quite
annoyed. One leans over to the librarian and says,' Buk Buk BuKKOOK!' The
librarian decides that the chickens want another three books and promptly gives
them some more. The chickens leave as before.
About an hour later the two birds march back in, approach the
librarian, looking very angry now and nearly shouting, 'Buk Buk Buk Buk
Bukkooook!'
The librarian is now starting to get worried about where all her
stock is going. She decides to give them more books but also to follow them and
find out what's happening.
She followed them out of the library, out of town, and into to a
park. At this point, she hid behind a tree, not wanting to be seen.
She saw the two chickens throwing the books at a frog in a pond,
to which the frog was kept repeating, "Rrredit Rrredit Rrredit..."
An
automobile mechanic was working under a car, and some brake fluid accidentally
dripped into his mouth.
"Wow," he thought to himself. "That stuff tastes good!"
The next day he told a friend about his amazing discovery. "It's really good," he said. "I think I'll have a little more today."
His friend was concerned but didn't say anything.
The next day the mechanic told his friend he'd drunk an entire cup full of the brake fluid. "It's great stuff!"
A few days later he was up to a bottle a day. And now his friend was really worried.
"Dude! Don't you know brake fluid is toxic? It's very bad for you," said the friend. "You'd better stop drinking it."
"Hey, no problem," he said. "I can stop any time."
"Wow," he thought to himself. "That stuff tastes good!"

A
guy goes in to a recording studio and hands the engineer what must be 50 grand
in cash. He says, "I want you to record exactly what I say, then use the
leftover money to print up as many CDs as you can, and send them to every
record label head, A&R rep, talent scout and manager in the business."
The engineer looks at the huge amount of cash and agrees. He sets up a mic in the booth then heads back into the console. The guy goes into the booth, closes the door and starts to speak:
"Since I was little, all I ever wanted to be was a musician. I trained with the best in the business, practiced every day, and made myself to be the best I could possibly be. I learned to write songs and record, played every instrument on my demo tapes and created masterpieces. And then I brought them to you people at the record companies. And you rejected me. I tried again and again, refining and bettering my work, but the response was always the same - that people didn't want musicianship, talent and songs written from the heart. They wanted easy to swallow crap that was familiar and easy to listen to. They wanted the same old thing, instead of something original!"
"Well, I'm fed up! I've worked my whole life and have never been successful! You've ruined my dream, crushed my hopes and destroyed me! I have nothing left to live for, and I hope you're all happy!"
With that he takes a gun out of his pocket and shoots himself dead, right in the vocal booth.
Just then the engineer comes on the talkback mic and says, "Okay, I got the levels all set. Let's try a take."

At the Duplex
-----------------------------
An English explorer was taking part in an expedition to the
Himalayas.
Led by a grizzled local guide, they ascended one of the less
frequently climbed peaks. Roughly half way up the side of the mountain, one of
the expedition came across a set of large manlike tracks in the snow.
After his arrival back in London, the man went back to his
London home for a while to recover and to plan his next expedition. He had been
there less than two weeks and was gazing out of a window when he saw a familiar
large bounding, manlike creature running down his street; the man couldn't
believe it, somehow the yeti had followed him to England!

At
his 103rd birthday party, my grandfather was asked if
he planned to be around for his 104th.
"I certainly do," he replied. " Statistics show that
very few people die between the ages of 103 and 104."
