Dearest Ken,

I have sent a link about the piano man via Signal.

Russia-Ukraine conflict: 'Piano Man' from Germany greets Ukrainians at Polish border with We are the Champions

Davide Martello has made a name for himself by playing his piano for peace in zones of conflict across the world — from Turkey in 2013 to Paris in 2015

Ukrainians fleeing their homes and their country found a moment of solace and comfort when they were serenaded by ‘Piano Man’ Davide Martello at the Polish border on Friday.

According to a Reuters report, the German pianist was seen playing his piano at the border with Poland at Korczowa. In a video by Reuters, he can be seen playing British rock band Queen’s We are the Champions and also inviting people around him to join him in the performance.
