Interesting Find

Hello again. Recently I read in the newspaper that a mysterious musician washed ashore in Britain last month.The mysterious musician was found sodden with seawater and dressed in a dinner suit, on an island off southeast England nearly six weeks ago, the mysterious, sad-faced man has spoken not a single word. No one knows his name or his nationality. All anyone can say is that he plays the piano very well, with a repertoire that ranges from Tchaikovsky to the Beatles to his own compositions. 

The case has riveted the British public. Hundreds of tips flowed into the national missing person hotline but none panned out. Until his identity is established "the piano man" also known as Mr. X, remains locked in a mental hospital - withdrawn, fearful and clutching his sheet music to his chest.

British newspapers have variously reported that the piano man was found April 7 or 8 on the isle of Sheppey, a small, quiet island and sailing resort near the mouth of the River Thames. The man cries sometimes and smiles now and then but never speaks. He has written pieces of music, which he holds close to his body and will not let anyone see.

In the meantime, hospital staff members are denying the mystery man access to the piano, at least for the moment, in an effort to make him speak.

In reading the newspaper I cut out the clipping because it intrigued me I wonder who this young man is and where it is he came from. I wonder what his name is and if he will ever remember where he came from. Perhaps one of our most famous composers like Mozart or Chopin might be alive and well within the walls of the mental hospital. Until his identity is made I wonder if he might just be one of our most famous of composers lost and unable to remember anything of his life. Maybe we will never know perhaps someone will come forward with the clue to this young man. Maybe someone doesn't want his identity known. This might turn out to be quite a story indeed.
