When I think of an easy instrument: The very last thing I think of is a piano, and most of you out there would probably think the same... Except for maybe the Unipiper, but he's not our topic. Instead I have an expert who insists that absolutely everyone can play the ivory keys.
Welcome to the Just Dumb Enough Podcast. A show that acknowledges no one is always an expert, by dispelling misconceptions with real experts.
My guest today is Sonny Stancarone. Sonny has been working alongside great pianists for over half a century now, and he's here to share how the piano is not only easy, but therapeutic; introducing what he calls "Piano Yoga".
We had a lot of audio issues in this interview, and you'll notice some background noise that even Sonny tries to shush, but I've done my very best to eliminate as many intrusions as possible; for your listening pleasure.
Also, there is two more weeks to make your voice heard when you vote for Just Dumb Enough in the People's Choice Podcast Awards. You can list me as your favorite podcast influence, choose this show for podcast of the year, for best society and culture podcast, or vote against me out of spite!

Let's play like no one can hear us!
I think it would be super fun to get a thousand sound clips from all of you in the audience trying out piano, just so I can stitch them into a nice song for us! Why not try it?

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
