In Friendship,

For those of you I have not yet met, I am Danny Kean the Traveling Piano man. I "Bring the Beat to the Street" working as an individual with no commercial, organizational or political affiliation. The Traveling Piano brings music to people. It's about inspiring. It's about encouraging and empowering people to express themselves freely through music. The Traveling Piano delivers the gift of creativity, a lift of spirits, friendship and respect for communities and people from all walks of life.

For over 20 years I have had the fortune of being able to work with a full time career performing piano from the back of a pickup truck. I have called my entertainment property Raggin' Piano Boogie. I have had repeat bookings yearly throughout the Pennsylvania, New Jersey and the New York states of America. Engagements have been mostly for community special events and business promotion. Whether for a huge audience in the hundreds of thousands or for small intimate groups... one thing has never changed. I am constantly thrilled by the relationship that is created when people get together and share music. A sense of community ensues and to feel the vibration, the energy, to see the smiles... these experiences validate for me time and time again how truly music is the language of the soul.

What is the most significant difference between Raggin’ Piano Boogie and the Traveling Piano? Raggin' Piano Boogie paid the bills with performance and fees. There are no costs or fees for the operation, talent and expertise of Traveling Piano. How has life's ongoing bills been paid? On a wing and a prayer. I could use a little more security in this area... :) I am determined to continue sharing spontaneous musical performances. This is what I do best and what I have most to offer for the world. It is wonderful to experience thousands of strangers coming together as one... in friendship... though music.

A large part of what I now offer is to share the piano on the truck for others to play... especially for those who have never before tried to create music on a piano. Personally, while sharing and creating connections with people through musical listening experiences, these are the most blessed moments for me. Most of all I am blessed to share the love and joy that piano dog Boner has to offer. He is the best buddy ever! Bo hangs out on top of the piano with me and is coming on 14 years of age. I would like for the world to meet him before he retires.

From the past almost three years throughout America and Mexico there is a daily musical log with extensive writings and pictures to explore from the Traveling Piano see... www.ragginpianoboogie.com ... The month of March 2008 is dedicated specifically to the most memorable experiences to date.

Respectfully,

Danny Kean
