The Case of the Mysterious Pianist Police on an English beach spotted a man who was walking on the beach, wearing a black suit and tie... and soaking wet. He wouldn't tell anybody who he was, so police brought him to a psychiatric unit. The man finally drew a picture of a grand piano. So doctors led him to the hospital chapel, which had a piano. He still didn't say a word. People still don't know who he is. But they do know that he sat at the keyboard and played classical music beautifully for hours.
