I Take Requests
April 16, 2008 | By kathryn | 28 CommentsDid you know that I used to play the piano at a restaurant in Boca Raton? Yes, at the Boca Raton Hotel, I’d sit in the middle of their lunch buffet at a baby grand and crank out light musack while people nibbled on shrimp salad and white asparagus. To prove that I’ve still got my chops, I’m taking requests. In the comments below request a song (just one song!) and I’ll do my best to honor the first 10. Then you can bring your plate to the computer and eat while I entertain you in a corresponding video…. If you like, this can be a weekly ritual. Music while you eat! Which other food blogger offers THAT?

Really, anything!?! Could you do Sound & Vision by Bowie?
I’m not sure how it’d be played on a Pee-anna

hear the attempt.
