| John Lennon - Steinway & Sons White Grand Piano |
Would you Lady Gaga into your home to play on your piano? Sean Lennon did, and took a picture of Gaga on his dad John Lennon's former piano in July 2010. But Beatles and Lennon fans were not impressed, and let rip their anger on twitter.
Perhaps it was the way Lady Gaga was dressed? Sean responded:
'Pianos meant are to be played. Why is everyone so uptight? 'What should we do, lock it away in a dusty room? So judgemental...'Technically the white Steinway and Sons Grand Piano belongs to Yoko Ono, as it was a birthday present from John Lennnon in 1971.
The Steinway is the very same piano that Lennon wrote the classic song "Imagine". In 2010, to commemorate John Lennon's would be 70th birthday, had he lived, Steinway and Sons pianos made a limited edition "Imagine Limited Edition Series" piano.
Here's Lady Gaga playing John Lennon's "Imagine" on another white Grand Piano, perhaps she learned her lesson from the angry twitter responses, and dressed more conservatively for the occasion!
So is there an appropriate or inappropriate way of dress when playing the piano, or is it merely the music that matters most? Your comments please.

Pretty cool music stuff. I saw the store. Also, I wanted to include this store on our directory for fine pianos. We will list it on both our web sites: http://www.conocopianolamps.com/the-right-lamp/ and http://www.conocopianolamps.com/history-of-piano-lamp/ Friendly, Affordable, Knowledgable Rented a piano lamp and piano light for home use from this shop and found the experience to be entirely enjoyable. Also I suggest check out http://www.conocolighting.com/servlet/the-6/pianolamp-grandpianolamp-GPXL617-houseoftroypianolamp/Detail to find grand piano lamp. Rental was for a very reasonable rate and the piano is of excellent quality. To top it off, the customer service was extremely friendly and helpful. Not only did they find me a piano small enough for a small apartment, they also managed to squeeze it into my very small car to save me the delivery fee.
