this is the fantastic bronze statue of a man and his baby grand at the top of fifth avenue on central park....

of course i want it to be gershwin, but it's not, and for the life of me, i'm blanking out on famous black american pianists from the 1920's and 1930's (no, it's not jelly roll morton...yes, it's the other one, but who the hell is he....damn....)

notice how i accidentally caught the airplane perfectly centered overhead of the man? just saw it when i downloaded the picture, what a trip!
