With a unique blend of boogie-woogie, blues, and rock ‘n’ roll, Dr K brings an infectious energy to public pianos across London and beyond. And this is another of his street performances, with a nice little twist.
As Kavanagh was playing a tune using an organ in a subway in London, he pretended to be a novice trying to play the instrument, and asked passing by pedestrians for assistance. An elderly woman came to aid him, unbeknownst that the man before her was a piano maestro himself.
The woman kept pointing at the “Middle C”, but Dr K kept pressing the wrong note, resulting in some playful melody created by the two. After a while, the lady saw through Dr K’s prank, and realized that the man in shades was no amateur, as Kavanagh kicked things up a notch and played the full version of the song effortlessly.
