I Love A Piano - Jungle Radio
May 27, 2020, 02:02 PM
Piece based on photo of Irving Berlin by Glenn Sogge.
"I think of this as one of a series of Counterfeit Pieces. Imagine being in a jungle with a radio and scanning for entertainment. Counterfeit birds, counterfeit rain, counterfeit radio tuning, counterfeit record noise as you finally catch a recording from 1916 (not counterfeit) of one of Irving Berlin's early hits - I Love A Piano."
