They share beautiful music and the program also helps them communicate with each other. Thirty pianos have been placed in different parts of the city including in several parks at a bus stop and on some streets. The pianos have the logo “Play Me, I’m yours” on them.

Lots of people have been attracted to the program and stopped to watch or play the pianos. “Play Me, I’m yours” is a part of the Sydney Festival. It is a project of the British artist Luck Jerram. He wants to help people in the city connect with each other. He thinks that so many people are sitting in front of computers and busy with their work all hours and they almost have no chance to enjoy music. So the purpose of the project is to help them relax and make new friends. The program “Play Me, I’m yours” has also reached England and Brazil(巴西) before. It was warmly welcomed there.

He set off her imagination and influenced her much. Angela always had stories running 11 her head and as soon as she could write, she put them down on paper. Angela 12 remembered the call that changed her life. It was Tuesday, February18th when the telephone rang in the kitchen of her Los Angeles home. On the line was Marty Banderas, a literary agent (代理) to whom she had sent a draft of her novel three weeks earlier. She asked Angela some 13 information, like age and health condition.

Perhaps a piano is too expensive for you to afford. Now thanks to a program in Sydney called “Play Me, I’m yours”, people are able to play the piano in public places for free. They share beautiful music and the program also helps them communicate with each other. Thirty pianos have been placed in different parts of the city including in several parks at a bus stop and on some streets. The pianos have the logo “Play Me, I’m yours” on them. People are invited to play music or sing songs with the pianos no matter what level of ability they have. Lots of people have been attracted to the program and stopped to watch or play the pianos. “Play Me, I’m yours” is a part of the Sydney Festival. It is a project of the British artist Luck Jerram. He wants to help people in the city connect with each other. He thinks that so many people are sitting in front of computers and busy with their work all hours and they almost have no chance to enjoy music. So the purpose of the project is to help them relax and make new friends. The program “Play Me, I’m yours” has also reached England and Brazil(巴西) before. It was warmly welcomed there. But its greatest success seems to come at the Sydney Festival. “It’s a chance for people to be creative, connect with strangers and just have some fun,” Jerram said. 21．According to the first sentence of the passage, your childhood piano lessons may be ________.

The song Happy Birthday to You is an example of just how interesting the world is. Think about this song-it is only 6 notes. Yet it is one of the best-known songs in the world. It was written in 1893 by Mildred and Patty Hill and first published with the words, “Good morning to you”. The words “Happy Birthday to You” were first seen in print in 1924, although the author is unknown. The Clayton F. Summy Company became the song’s publisher in 1935. Through a series of purchases and acquisitions (收购), the song now belongs to AOL Time Warner. ASCAP represents the song for public performance licensing. The copyright to Happy Birthday to You should have expired (过期) in 1991, but copyright Act of 1976 extended (延长) it, and the Copyright Term Extension Act of 1998 extended it again, so the song is protected until 2030 at least. Happy Birthday to You brings in about $ 2 million per year. If you ever hear the song in a movie, TV show or an ad, a licensing fee has been paid. Any manufacturer that plays the song pays a licensing. The manufacturer of any musical card playing the songs pays a licensing fee.
