John Lennon’s Piano Displayed In The Big Apple
August 14th, 2008
The last piano that John Lennon played in his life will be on display starting this November. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is set to open a museum in New York City and the “John Lennon Piano”, as it has been dubbed by the staff at The Record Plant, will be one of the items housed there.
On the last day of John’s life, he was in the mix room of The Record Plant recording studio with sound engineer Jack Douglas, working on “Walking On Thin Ice”. John was playing that same piano shortly before he left the studio that horrible night back in December, 1980.
Among the other items that will be on display in the new museum will be Bruce Springsteen’s first car, Elvis’ biker jacket and, I love this one, a phone booth from the iconic punk NYC nightclub CBGB. I love this little bit of trivia too…did you know that the “John Lennon Piano” was also used during the recording of Don McLean’s “American Pie”? I’ll bet you didn’t! See what happens when you read BlogMeanies? Good things!
