Luke is one cool dude. We invited the UK-based artist on the show to talk about his project "Play Me, I'm Yours," which installs pianos on street corners in a city, allowing anyone to play at any time. But then learned: he also designs hospital atriums. He creates glass sculptures with lightning. He sends hot air balloons up over cities to play music and inspire peoples' dreams. And he's colorblind. Jarret speaks with him about his artistic process, installing street pianos in Boston in Summer 2013, and the differences between foxes and hedgehogs.

If a Piano Barbarians host should be stranded in LA because of a blizzard in Denver, he should take the initiative and track down old friend Kelsie Clark for an interview. Paul did just this. He and Kelsie delve into life in California, song fads, and Kelsie's feature-film debut.

Congratulations to the entire Piano Barbarian family as we crest into our 50th episode! Paul randomly bumped into Frank McGlynn and Dave Puszykowski in Denver last week, and they were gracious enough to be guests on the podcast 24 hours later. This episode features a deep-dive into straight-to-video Disney animation, which is a requirement for any podcast reaching 50 episodes. It says so in the podcast manual.

It's been a while since the hosts have gotten together for a chat. Steve has been busy recovering from pneumonia, Paul has been busy interviewing guests and keeping the podcast alive. Jarret has been busy surveying real estate in Boston. That being said, we're back with another episode discussing a variety of topics... "new country" music, facebook dramas in the DP forum, cover charges, and celebrity encounters in the world of dueling pianos. Tune in!
