Piano Man hunt switches to Prague

By David Sapsted
(Filed: 30/05/2005)

The hunt to establish the identity of the "Piano Man" switched to Prague yesterday on the basis of a 22-year-old picture of a teenager with a stocking over his head.

The name Tomas Strnad has came to the fore as a possible identity for the mute man found wandering by a beach on the Isle of Sheppey, Kent, almost two months ago who reportedly "comes alive" when he plays the piano.

The picture of Mr Strnad, reproduced yesterday in a tabloid newspaper, was supplied by Klaudius Kryspin, a Czech rock drummer who says he "knew immediately" the man was Strnad, with whom he says he played in a pop group as a teenager.

A spokesman for the National Missing Persons Helpline, said yesterday: "We have heard about this chap but we have had 250 names suggested to us so it's just another one that we have got to look into."

They are looking for him, no doubt, because they want the movie rights.

'Kryptonite' Klaud, rock drummer, may have Snared a lead with this Pictures at an Exhibition. Although the pianist is Lisztless, the National Missing Persons Helpline has joined the chorus-line and is helping news of the situation Rock-ette to the top of everyone's consciousness, by orchestrating news releases and banding together, vowing by a Coda Honor to pool resources.

I'm glad people are Fine showing some spine-t for doing what's right by this gentleman. In other news, it turns out there are three identical siblings all with idiot savant musical abilities, moron this Trill-ogy as things develop, hopefully, or we can all just fugue-etaboutit.

Your ping Jarre-d me out of my nap in my recliner. It's the First Chair I ever owned, and makes my Bach feel so good.

I think he's been travelling with Docor Who and has recently been turfed out of the TARDIS. Everyone who leaves the TARDIS looks kind of like that.

I've made note of your request, Handel try to compose myself enough to comply, but I have to set the tablature for supper in a minuet, now that I'm done Chopin beats for dinner.
