Grand Canyon Suite

#1 Pompous A-hole:

On September 18, 1979, pianist Marden Abadi played selections from Debussy, Gershwin, Chopin, and Grofe’s “Grand Piano Suite” before several hundred people. The park service would not allow the use of a helicopter to lower the one and a half ton, $30,000 rosewood grand piano bellow the rim. Instead a team of about forty people carried the piano and placed it rather precariously by the canyon rim.
