I have an interest in the musical acts at Disneyland and Disney's California Adventure.

(I spelled the parks out for a change instead of using inititals. just for the exercise :) ).

I have a request.
If you visit DL, please make a note in your "report" who was playing piano.
Especially if the player is NOT Alan and NOT Johnny.

I am interested how often a replacement (pinch hitter?) piano player is used.

*****

I wish we had a corresponding code for the PRINCESSES.
I notice a difference in ARIELs, and in SNOW WHITEs.

We gotta get a code going, folks!
Somethink like the "gold team" vs. "green team" for BILLY HILL & THE HILLBILLIES.

(e.g., "Knock three times for the A-list Belle, and knock two times for the B-list Belle.")

I don't know WHAT we are going to do to identify the teams for MINER FORTY-NINERS.
(e.g., "25% Barn Cats" or "50% Barn Cats" or "Three-quarters Barn Cats"?)

Now that Rod has retired (we sure do miss him), I thought that Alan & Johnny were the only ones playing at Coke Corner? Is there now a third?

I have an idea... how about just relaxing and enjoying all of the entertainment options Disney has to offer?

Sorry, I know that might sound crazy to some AP'ers*. :rolleyes:

*Please note that I used the word "some" before the word "AP'ers", so I am not saying everyone who has an AP is the same.
Thank you for your time. ;)

Yeah... please don't take this wrong (though I don't know that there's really a "right"way to say it...)

But that sounds kind of obsessive and stalker-ish to me...

There was always a fourth piano player even when Rod was still working - I can't remember his name - I want to say Chris? - he has glasses. He worked very casual part-time hours like Alans old schedule. I have not seen him in quite some time. I think Alan and Johnny are the only 2 now.

To answer my own question.....
Last night there was a different Johnny at the piano. He said he's a sub, so he just fills in when called. Very good though; I think he has more of an unique style than either Alan or the first Johnny. So currently there are at least 3 piano players.
