JenEllen, Ambrose Bierce said a piano is played by depressing the keys of the machine and the spirits of the audience. Makes sense that way!

And kat, if you look at that photo, unless he had Krazy Glue on his right hand there's no way that banjo would stay where it is. A very good fake photo, but a fake nonetheless. If he'd added a strap it would have been completely believable.
