I Know My First Name Is Stephen
Hi all
A question for you. How come Richard's grand piano is up for auction at the forthcoming fundraiser? I thought it went for $25000 last year to a silent bidder.
Does this mean Richard was in fact the silent bidder and bought it back last year without anyone knowing?! Or did someone donate their bid and not take the piano but rather leave it in the Center's possession as a piece of prize memorabilia? If that's the case, it's a bit of a cheek that it's under the hammer again!
As quoted on the Carpenter Center website:
