Piano Bar with Steve Lynch

It was a ship called the Maasdam -- of the Holland America Line, doing cruises from Montreal to Boston via the St. Lawrence River, and back. It was a modest piano bar -- 15 years old, which is very old for a cruise ship. The Yamaha piano was a weird Raspberry color, which I could never picture in anybody's living room.

I brought along my Canon camcorder, hopefully to get good promotional footage, and I handed it one night to a competent-looking fellow, instructing him to get a balance of audience footage and pianoman footage.

He did me one better -- he got extensive footage of Filipino bartender Ray -- who was quite the flamboyant sort (note that the word "flaming" comes from the word "flamboyant") and his performance during "YMCA" was classic.

An hour of footage was done on this night, and I edited it down to this ten-minute montage, for Youtube and for promo.
