“This time around it’s for real! My performance partner suffered a heat stroke last week cancelling our performance but we are now able to guarantee that on Tuesday the 28th, at 7:45 PM, at 602 Nevada (and Hackberry) at Reverend Seymour Perkins’ famous cement slab/sculpture garden, I, Raul Castellanos, will be breaking a piano given to me by the Perkins family to honor the late controversial and legendary artist from the Eastside. My assistant is Skye who is also Perkins’ only authorized biographer. I collaborated on many projects with Perkins for a bit more than 2 years and was truly honored to do so. Everyone please come out there to show your support and spread the word!”

Description
Raul Castellanos and Skye Cosby will be destroying a historic piano upon which music legends such as Sam Cooke have played. The piano was a gift from the late artist Reverend Seymour Perkins’ family to conmemorate his artistic career and legacy. Perkins and Castellanos collaborated extensively for the last 2 years of Perkins’ life. Afterwards, Castellanos will build a wall sculpture out of the piano pieces in the style he is renowned for.

don’t tell chip
Take my piano and break it up, break it up
Got no use for it anymore
Once a piano don’t take a tune, take a tune
Don’t know what it for
When I’m talkin’ don’t interrupt, interrupt
I got to get it all out
My time comes all too soon, all too soon
At the moment without a doubt
Nothin’ more to doubt…
