Musicians’ Bench
An objet d’art called Musicians’ Bench was spotted in Russian city of Pskov. Sharp eyes quickly recognized that music notation on the bench is not random, but represents the opening chords of nothing else but Smoke on the Water. The bench is installed in a recently reconstructed Square of the Arts and is the work of local artist Yevgeny Vagin.
Unauthorized copying, while sometimes necessary, is never as good as the real thing
I’m looking for a nice bench for my garden….I wonder how much shipping is 😁

Good observation. You are flat out sharp!
Peace,

George, you’re absolutely right 😉
As a musician I therefore wouldn’t put it in my garden.
September 1st, 2020 at 15:08I’m confident that a noted artist could fix that.
September 2nd, 2020 at 19:06Ted, I must add that looking at that A sharp brings about nothing more than the occasional tear.
That’s it from me on this, I promise.
Cheers,
George
