Musician Rescues Mystery Piano From Sandbar
Musician Rescues Mystery Piano From Sandbar

MIAMI -- A baby grand piano is gone again from a Miami sandbar after a musician rescued the battered instrument for his son.

A towing crew took the piano Thursday. Its appearance on the sandbar in early January was a mystery until 16-year-old Nicholas Harrington stepped forward this week to say he put it there as an art project.

State wildlife officials had served the Harringtons with orders to remove it within 24 hours. But musician Carl Bentulan got there first.

Bentulan told The Miami Herald he plans to eventually put the piano in his living room. He said his 10-year-old son insisted the piano needed a home.

2. We just found out Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas is a tax cheat.
The piano got more coverage in the "liberal media".

4. why does it bother you?
Holding humanity up to some kind of intellectual standard is simply a recipe for disillusionment.

Let it go, you'll be happier.

5. He didn't rescue a piano.
He rescued a former piano, a piano shaped piece of wood.

He could possible salvage the case and the harp, but everything else inside it is toast.
