00:11Hello and welcome. We're on Bunurong Country here in the bustling Dandenong Market. We've got fresh
00:18fish, we've got fruit and veg, we've got spices galore and you know what, just because I like
00:23you. I'm gonna throw in some piano. After clocking up the kilometres across the country, our
00:30travelling piano arrives here in Melbourne. Oh hello, are you doing for me? Yeah. Searching
00:36for ordinary Australians. Hi Ethan, have a seat. With extraordinary musical talent.
00:44Oh. Got little goosebumps in. The people that will play these keys today aren't looking for
00:50fame or glory. They just want to share the connection that they have with this very
00:55special instrument. Because a public piano has the power to move you. Look at how
01:00she looks at him. I want someone to look at me like that when I play. Lift you to your
01:06feet and sometimes bring you to tears. Sorry, I never thought I'd play again. Watching on from a
01:16secret hidey hole. Two of Australia's biggest musical success stories. Award-winning concert
01:22pianist Andrea Lam. This is our stall for the day. Oh. And multi-instrumentalist Guy Sebastian.
01:33This is the nicest one we've had. This is gorgeous. They are searching for one final pianist for a very
01:39special event. They are putting together a once-in-a-lifetime concert at the City Recital Hall in Sydney.
01:46They've already invited mum of two Erin, Tasmanian teenager CJ, Western Australian duo Peter and Rosie,
02:04and schoolgirl Caitlin. I'm so surprised. I couldn't believe it actually. So who will round out this very
02:11special group? I can't wait to find out. This is the piano.
02:27Well, hi. Hello, you look nice. You look fantastic green. You're in all the greenery. Can you see me? Am
02:32I just a floating head? You match perfectly.
02:35Well, I'm just going to plant myself down and try not to soil myself. Good. That's what you were thinking
02:40of the whole way down here. The whole way down here. What puns have I got?
02:44Today, a big day. One final, final slot. What do we need to round out a concert?
02:50Well, I still feel we need an entertainer. Like, just a bit of energy at that concert that's going to
02:55get people on their feet. You need light and shade.
02:57I always want someone who can clear the piano and knock my socks off. Right. So ideally, we would have
03:02both.
03:03We want everything today. Okay. I'm excited to see who's going to fill that gap.
03:07Yes. We'll get to work. Okay. All right. All right. All right. Hands off.
03:11Love you. Don't touch the merchandise.
03:20You live here in Melbourne. I've got high expectations of being here in Dandenong today. I think we're going to
03:25get some good musos.
03:25I think so, too.
03:36So how are you feeling about today? Excited. Oh. Well, it'll be fun, won't it? Yeah.
03:41My name is Kane. I am seven years old, and I'm from Coburg North. The piano, it makes me feel
03:52good.
03:53Smells good. I'm so hungry.
03:56Look at this kid. He's beaming.
03:59He's either getting some hot donuts, or he's playing with piano.
04:05Oh, he's playing with piano.
04:06Oh, hello. Are you looking for me? Yeah.
04:08Hello, I'm Amanda. Yeah.
04:09What's your name?
04:10Kane.
04:11Hi, Kane. Come and sit here.
04:13Oh.
04:13Hello.
04:14How old is he?
04:15Well, hi.
04:16Yeah.
04:17How old are you?
04:18I just turned seven.
04:20Just turned seven.
04:21Mm-hmm.
04:22Just turned seven.
04:23Just turned seven.
04:24That's definitely the youngest one that we've seen.
04:26Yeah.
04:27Tell me about you and music. Did you grow up with a piano at home?
04:31A toy piano.
04:38Do you have a piano teacher?
04:40No, I'm self-taught.
04:42Are you?
04:43Yeah.
04:43At the age of seven?
04:44Yeah.
04:45What sort of music do you like?
04:47Classical.
04:48Who are your favourite composers?
04:50Chopin, Mozart, Beethoven, some of Bach and Rachmaninoff.
04:56Why only some of Bach? You don't like some of his other stuff? Some of early Bach?
05:01Yeah, just too easy.
05:03Too easy?
05:04Yeah.
05:06Okay.
05:07Oh, wow.
05:08What?
05:09What are you going to play for us today?
05:11Ragtime.
05:12Ragtime?
05:12How do you know ragtime?
05:14I just watch videos of ragtime.
05:17So is this how you've learnt to play? By watching videos?
05:20Yeah.
05:20YouTube videos?
05:21Yeah.
05:22Hang on. So you watch videos of ragtime and then just plays it?
05:25This is when the internet is amazing.
05:27Yes.
05:28Why don't my kids watch stuff like that on YouTube?
05:42What?
05:43Oh my gosh.
05:47Wow.
05:58I genuinely think we're watching something special here.
06:03Like the future for Kane is...
06:07It's very bright.
06:08It looks pretty bright.
06:17Look at everyone's faces. Everyone's got their phones out.
06:19Everyone's got their phones out.
06:21He's totally made people's face.
06:23There's a lot of jaws that are dropped, right?
06:34He's amazing.
06:37I mean the focus you need to be able to make all of those calculations on distance.
06:55That's the most shocked I've been on this show so far.
06:58Kane, take a bow.
07:05I just think we're watching a little genius here.
07:09It smells like fish.
07:13And...
07:14With proper maintenance, a new piano will very likely outlive you.
07:18A well cared for piano can last a hundred years or more.
07:21And in fact, the world's oldest surviving piano is over 300 years old.
07:27And that thing there, yes.
07:29Keep well away from the steps there.
07:32I'm Noel Griffith.
07:34I'm two weeks off 96.
07:37And I'm Patricia Griffith.
07:39An exciting day, isn't it?
07:41Yes, it is.
07:43Here we are.
07:44Look at all the lovely flowers over there.
07:47Aren't they lovely?
07:48I can't see them like that.
07:51Hello.
07:53How are you?
07:54Hello, Amanda.
07:54I'm Amanda.
07:55You're Amanda.
07:56I am.
07:57Hello.
07:57Hello, Noel.
07:59Oh my goodness.
08:00Are they playing?
08:01Or maybe they're just fans of Amanda?
08:04And hello, I'm Pat.
08:05Hello, Pat.
08:06That's my wife.
08:07Yes.
08:07Isn't she beautiful?
08:09Yes.
08:09Do you need some help up the stairs?
08:11There's a step there.
08:12Oh, they are playing.
08:13Oh.
08:14How old are you?
08:15I'm 96 in two weeks' time.
08:19Yes, a round of applause.
08:21Today we've had a just-turned seven-year-old.
08:24And now, Noel is about to turn 96.
08:27At the opposite end.
08:28At the other end.
08:29At the opposite end.
08:29And Pat, how old are you?
08:30Do you mind me asking?
08:30I'm 94.
08:31And you're 94, the child bride.
08:33Oh, I'm not.
08:36Yes.
08:36How long ago did you two get married?
08:3972 years ago.
08:41Love at first sight, was it?
08:43No.
08:46Three years he courted me and played the piano to me.
08:50So he played piano for you in the courtship?
08:52Yes.
08:53Is that what wooed you?
08:54I think so.
08:55Yeah, I thought he was pretty good.
08:57It must have been more than playing the piano.
09:08Right.
09:10Which is mine?
09:12Yours is your cup there.
09:14That one?
09:15Yeah.
09:16I think he's the nicest person one could ever know.
09:19He's the gentle, kindest man that, you know, that I've ever met in my life.
09:25We both look very happy.
09:27Yeah.
09:28Oh, he was a good-looking fellow.
09:31He's a good-looking fellow.
09:33Look at him.
09:34Handsome man.
09:35It's very common for some people to have about three marriages in their life these days.
09:42I can't tell you why that's the case, except that I don't think they spend time thinking
09:48about each other personally properly.
09:52Is that a biscuit there?
09:53Yes.
09:54Would you like a biggie?
09:55What sort are they?
09:56It's all your sorts.
09:57I'll have that one.
09:59Good.
10:00When did I start playing the piano?
10:03When I was about 12.
10:04But at school you didn't tell anybody you learnt the piano.
10:08He used to go to the dentist a lot.
10:11Yes.
10:11They don't want to know if this dopey kid plays the piano.
10:16Yeah.
10:19What does the piano mean to me?
10:22It means everything to me.
10:25If you can think about music and enjoy music together, I think that is one of the greatest
10:34sort of things you could have together, really.
10:40How often do you play for Pat?
10:42Every day.
10:43You're a lucky woman, Pat.
10:46I think I am.
10:47Their relationship is so beautiful.
10:49It is.
10:51Yeah, you can start playing your wings of song now.
10:54Start playing what?
10:55You can start playing your wings of song.
11:09Oh my goodness, he's good.
11:14Beautiful phrasing.
11:16To have that kind of dexterity and flow still at 96 years old.
11:21Yeah.
11:22And the voice and the melody is in the middle now.
11:36I love that this is part of their daily routine.
11:40Brush your teeth, eat food, play some beautiful Mendelssohn.
11:44Thanks.
11:45Put your teeth back in.
11:46Put your teeth back in.
11:48Put your teeth back in.
11:59Look at how she looks at him.
12:01It's really sweet.
12:11Welcome.
12:15That was good.
12:17Take a bow.
12:18That was beautiful.
12:20How did you feel Pat?
12:21It's lovely isn't it?
12:22It's beautiful.
12:23I made a few mistakes.
12:24No you did not.
12:25I refuse to believe that.
12:29I think it went very well.
12:32I thought I went wrong in the middle somewhere.
12:36But you patched it up.
12:38But I patched it up, yeah.
12:41This has been the best art I think we've had.
12:45It's better round here.
12:46You don't get the draft.
12:48Here you are.
12:57Oh, sorry, guys.
13:02Oh, sorry.
13:03I saw you fighting your way through the crowd.
13:05Come and join me up here.
13:06Hello, how are you?
13:06Hello, I'm Amanda.
13:07I'm Rob.
13:07Hi, Rob.
13:08Come and sit down.
13:09Tell me about you.
13:10I'm a lawyer who works a lot with refugees.
13:13And I'm married and I have my beautiful wife here.
13:16Point her out.
13:17Oh, there she is.
13:18Her name's Heidi.
13:19Where did you meet?
13:20We met online.
13:22I wanted to learn Spanish.
13:23She's Colombian.
13:25So it wasn't a dating app, or it was?
13:26No, no, no, no.
13:27It's an app that we've managed to make, a dating app.
13:30And how's that gone for you?
13:32She's gotten a lot more out of the exchange than me.
13:34Her English is perfect.
13:35My Spanish is mediocre at best.
13:38He is everything to me.
13:40And I am super in love with him.
13:43What made you want to come and perform at this public piano today?
13:48The piano, for me, has become a language of its own, a way I've been able to express some
13:54of my rawest and deepest emotions.
13:57My wife and I lost our son at 31 weeks.
14:02I'm so sorry.
14:03Oh, that's terrible.
14:05I felt for a long time that I wouldn't ever really have the confidence that my wife has
14:10talking about my son.
14:12She found her words very easily and very early on.
14:15I didn't find my words very easily.
14:18But the piano is my voice.
14:20And so if music helps me to do that, then I think that's a great thing.
14:24He speaks beautifully, doesn't he?
14:26He really does.
14:34The song I'll be playing is a piece that I've written in memory of my son, Tiago, and losing
14:46him.
14:50It's called Born Asleep But Dreaming.
15:07It's beautiful.
15:15On the 4th of September 2022, it was our wedding anniversary.
15:25It was also Father's Day.
15:30And we heard those words that nobody ever wants to hear, which is, we can't detect a heartbeat.
15:40I've never heard that kind of pain come from a human being before, let alone the person
15:49you love.
15:51That kind of just, like, scream of anguish.
15:58A midwife behind me just said, go to her.
16:02In that shock of the moment, my body just didn't know what to do.
16:06And we just hugged each other, because there was nothing else to do.
16:21When the midwife delivered him, and she showed me my son.
16:29And I've never seen, I've never seen someone with that kind of peaceful expression.
16:39It was peace personified.
16:44He looked like the most pure thing that had never suffered a moment in his life, and had
16:49just been fed with love for each of those 31 weeks.
16:56And I just felt immediate peace.
17:01And I think if I hadn't done that, and if Haiti hadn't seen that as well, I think we might
17:08have been in a different place.
17:36People won't know the story behind this.
17:39But the fact that it's so beautiful and so personal, I think, would carry.
17:42People would know that this means a lot.
17:45For someone who said you struggled to show your emotions, it just poured off you.
17:50How are you feeling about the future, you two?
17:53Well, we have hope.
17:56We have each other.
17:58And Haiti's just found out that we're pregnant again.
18:04Oh, no way.
18:06Oh, my goodness.
18:09Congratulations, you two.
18:11That's the best news.
18:11Oh, wow.
18:12I just got proper goosebumps.
18:15Thank you very much.
18:17Good luck to you.
18:18That's very exciting news.
18:19Please thank Robert.
18:22I honestly couldn't be more just overwhelmed in joy, in anxiousness, in everything.
18:31But it means that maybe I can dare to dream again.
18:37There's not enough Kleenex in the world for this show.
18:49Can I have a cuddle?
18:50Yeah, of course you can.
18:51Will it wee on me?
18:52Yeah.
18:53Will it?
18:53No.
18:53Sorry.
18:54Yeah.
18:55Just sorry.
18:56Can you please bring that puppy in here?
18:58Oh.
19:00Oh, my goodness.
19:02Oh.
19:02Hello.
19:03Oh.
19:04Cute.
19:07It's lovely.
19:08Yeah, a piece of cake.
19:09Come on, Louis.
19:10My goodness.
19:10I'm so proud of you.
19:12Come on, Louis.
19:13Brilliant.
19:14Just go for it.
19:15My name is Louis.
19:16I'm from Perth, West Australia, and I'm 19 years old.
19:19I brought my mum, my dad, my nana, and my nonna.
19:23The whole army of family is here with me today.
19:26We have a really tight bond, and we've gone through a lot together, so it's really special
19:30to have family, you know.
19:32Ciao.
19:39Look at this guy.
19:41He sticks out.
19:42It's got to be him.
19:43Look at the quiff, it's like Elvis.
19:48Wow, I hope you're coming up here.
19:49Yeah, that's where I'm going.
19:50Yeah, look at you go.
19:51I'm Amanda.
19:52Hello.
19:52Hello, Amanda.
19:53Lovely to meet you.
19:54What's your name?
19:54My name's Louis.
19:55Louis, come and sit down.
19:57Oh, wow.
19:57He's a character.
19:58I'm loving this look.
20:00Are these real?
20:01They are real.
20:02I've had them since I was in year 10 high school.
20:04You can grow sideburns in year 10.
20:08I started playing piano at nine years old.
20:11I used to watch live videos of people playing, and I would watch their hands, and my ears
20:17developed to a point where I could listen to the record and take it off the record, what
20:21I was hearing.
20:22Hello, family.
20:23Oh.
20:24Hello.
20:25What's happening?
20:26This look isn't traditional for every 19-year-old.
20:30No, not really.
20:31He looks like a showman, right?
20:33Oh, yeah.
20:34Who are your musical inspirations?
20:35I think I can probably guess.
20:37My first big musical inspiration was Elvis, and I discovered that through my dad and his
20:43music.
20:43He was doing Elvis shows.
20:44Oh.
20:45That's where I got the Elvis thing from.
20:47It's so awesome to have him here today.
20:49My dad was diagnosed with an illness recently, and there was a couple of months that were really
20:54tough.
20:58My dad was diagnosed with cancer.
21:00Yeah, that was the most frightening I've ever been in my life.
21:04It was just startling that this illness, it's made its way into my family.
21:09He's going through treatment, and he's getting better, and I hope my music makes him feel better
21:14as well.
21:16It's great to be able to play the music he played, walk in my father's footsteps.
21:20That's really special to me.
21:22How do you feel watching him on a day like this?
21:24I'm so proud.
21:26At the moment, it just blows my mind, and, um...
21:29Does he bring joy into your home?
21:31Oh, my God.
21:32A lot of joy.
21:34Every day.
21:38This one's for Dada.
21:40Oh.
21:47I threw a party in the county jail.
21:50Prison man was there, they began the world.
21:52Showing, jumping, and then the job began to swing.
21:55Showing, how they knocked up jailbirds and let's rock.
22:00Everybody, let's rock.
22:02That's...wow.
22:03Everybody in the wholesale rock.
22:06He can play.
22:07It's really great.
22:16Everybody's moving.
22:17I love it.
22:18I love bringing joy and happiness to people.
22:22I love to make people happy and make them feel something they hadn't felt that day.
22:27Maybe they're at work all day and they got the blues and I want to play them some blues.
22:31Like, trying to push something out of them, and then that pushes something out of me, and
22:35it just creates this magical moment.
22:38Sad sack was sitting on a block of stone.
22:41Over here in the corner weeping all alone.
22:43One said, buddy, don't you be no square.
22:46Can't find a pun to use a wound in jail, how to rock.
22:50And it sounds like he can do anything.
22:52Like, just the way that he plays and he's understanding of rhythm and harmony in general.
22:56He's got a great technique.
23:16I really enjoyed it.
23:18It was fantastic.
23:19And he's just totally over the moon with him.
23:22Very, very proud of Lewis.
23:24Absolutely.
23:38Are you looking for a piano?
23:40You've come to the right place.
23:42Hello, I'm Amanda.
23:43So nice to meet you.
23:44Hello, what's your name?
23:45Alice.
23:45Hi, Alice.
23:46Come and sit down.
23:48Welcome to Dandenong Market.
23:50It's not the most common place you'd play a piano.
23:52No, it's great.
23:53It's awesome.
23:55Tell me about Alice.
23:56I'm a mum and a carer.
23:58I'm 47 years old.
24:00I live in Ringwood, just up the road.
24:01And how old's your child?
24:02He's 12.
24:0312.
24:03What's his name?
24:04Lockie.
24:05Look at your face when you're talking about him, Lockie.
24:07And have you played piano for a long time?
24:09I started learning at a young age when I was 8 years old.
24:14I was talent scouted at one of these top music schools in Britain.
24:19And I got in, and that meant going to a boarding school.
24:22We were very much taught, if you want to make it, you have to make it by the age of
24:2714, 15.
24:29I was practicing eight hours a day on top of a full curriculum.
24:32I was working until 2 in the morning.
24:34And so it was push, push, push.
24:36A lot of us were, like, crying ourselves to sleep most nights.
24:39So it was a hard place to be, you know?
24:41Yeah.
24:42So the piano I loved, but it was also kind of, like, I was kind of chained to it, you
24:46know?
24:47And I think that's probably why at 14 I ended up having a nervous breakdown.
24:50I just, I couldn't cope with the situation.
24:52Oh my goodness.
24:54Wow.
24:55And I spent my later years right into Adult Hill going in and out of psychiatric hospitals,
25:00trying to get on top of this.
25:02And I haven't played for 30 years until just nine months ago.
25:06Oh my gosh.
25:08Wow.
25:09For 30 years.
25:10I mean, I always felt like I lost a part of me when I stopped playing.
25:14It was such a grief.
25:15I couldn't look at a piano.
25:17It was like losing a loved one, you know?
25:19Lachlan is 12 years old.
25:21Yeah.
25:21Have you encouraged him to play at all?
25:24When Lach started playing, I was like, okay, maybe I could try playing.
25:29He does it in such a free way.
25:30I'm like, you know, I should have done that as a kid.
25:33I think that's exactly how it should be.
25:37Yeah.
25:38This is an extraordinary step you're taking.
25:41I can't wait to hear you, Alice.
25:43Oh, I can't wait to hear her play.
25:45See you over here.
25:46Like, going through that much in your life, that's a massive turnaround.
25:50You're going through that.
25:52Like, going through that.
26:05Oh, I can't wait to hear you, Alice.
26:15Great.
26:15Oh, yeah.
26:30So many things go into making this a beautiful performance.
26:36Just getting to the notes themselves, because there's a lot of cross-rhythm, all of these
26:42shadings between the fingers.
26:50Am I correct in saying this feels like the most difficult piece to play that we've seen
26:56so far?
26:57This is the most difficult piece we've seen so far.
27:09What a waste being able to play like this, and not being able to share it.
27:15And not being able to experience it too.
27:17Yeah.
27:39It's like she couldn't believe that she did it at the end, right?
27:43Oh, I hope you just felt drooling.
27:46Sorry, I never thought I'd play again.
27:50I really didn't.
27:52And to be here just in a real place, not like a squeaky clean performance situation, just
27:58with everyday people, just to share some beautiful music, it was what it was all about.
28:02And I just didn't realise it as a kid.
28:04I hope you got from today what you were hoping to get.
28:08Yeah, more than that, I think.
28:10Oh, welcome back, Alice.
28:11Yes.
28:12Piano and music, thank goodness.
28:15Oh, that's one of those chip sticks.
28:17Mmm.
28:18God, I'd kill for some chips on a stick.
28:25The Dandenong Market is one of the oldest traditional working markets in Melbourne.
28:30Today, more than 150 nationalities are represented here.
28:34And with over 200 traders, every aisle tells a story.
28:40And our piano is providing the perfect soundtrack.
28:46With everything from Mendelssohn.
28:50Wow.
28:51This is a very difficult piece to pull off.
28:54It needs to be tossed off with brilliance and a line, and he's definitely on the way there.
29:00Mmm.
29:00To kiss.
29:01I was made for loving you, baby.
29:05You were made for loving me.
29:08I can't get enough of you, baby.
29:13She's a beautiful singer and she plays great.
29:15But I think there's a reason Kiss kept it so...
29:18Upbeat.
29:19Upbeat.
29:20Give it all to me.
29:28And even a spot of Sondheim.
29:36I'm Adrian.
29:37I'm 69.
29:38I live in a country town called Meredith.
29:41I love the country.
29:42There's no way you'd get me in the city.
29:45I grew up on the same farm I still live in.
29:5069 years into one spot.
29:56I live alone, but I'm not lonely.
29:59You know, after Sheeran and all of that of a day, all I'd do is just come home and muck
30:03around on the piano for half an hour.
30:07It's been an old friend.
30:08It really has.
30:09It's always there.
30:11His touch, his dynamics are so nice.
30:14It's a great use of registral contrasts as well.
30:18Going way into the bass.
30:37That was...
30:38Wow.
30:40Now you know why I'm not lonely.
30:42Now I know why you're not lonely.
30:44Adrian, it's beautiful.
30:45Thank you very much.
30:46Let's hear it for Adrian.
30:49He's high-fiving his fans.
30:51Sorry.
30:58Alright, who have we got?
31:00We've got quite a crew here.
31:02It's a big family.
31:05Hello, you lot.
31:06And you've brought an entire entourage as a superstar should have.
31:09Yes.
31:10Hello, I'm Amanda.
31:11Hi, Amanda Cain.
31:11Hello, Cain.
31:12Hi, Peggy.
31:13I'm Amanda.
31:14Great to see you both here today.
31:16I'll be speaking for Peggy today because she's lost her ability to speak because of M&D.
31:20Motor Neurone Disease.
31:21Motor Neurone Disease.
31:22That's right.
31:22Okay.
31:23And who's the musician amongst you?
31:25Peggy is 100% the musician.
31:28But today I believe you're going to be playing for her.
31:31Yeah, so I'll be playing a piece that she's composed.
31:34So I've been madly practicing the last week.
31:36So see how we go.
31:40And has piano ever been your thing?
31:42I'm not a pianist by any stretch of the imagination.
31:44But you're stepping up today for Peggy.
31:46I'm 100% here just for Peggy.
31:48I'm not a pianist.
31:49Not a single piano lesson.
31:50But I'm here today for my wife to be able to express her music to the world.
31:55So tell me about Peggy's diagnosis.
31:57So Peggy got diagnosed about a year ago.
32:00Symptoms probably started about six years ago.
32:03And Peggy has always been musical?
32:05Yeah.
32:06Peggy is an extremely accomplished musician.
32:09She's a classically trained singer.
32:11And now today, the first time we've played a piece that she's composed.
32:16Oh wow.
32:17That's good.
32:18Is it going to be any good you reckon?
32:20That's a thumbs up.
32:22Okay.
32:25So we've been married for 24 years since August.
32:29I don't even remember this time.
32:32I was so nervous and almost numb that day.
32:36But I was definitely excited.
32:41There we go.
32:42It's recording.
32:42So Merry Christmas to Nan.
32:44Merry Christmas to Nan.
32:47When you're smiling.
32:51Yeah, there's been music in our house right from the beginning.
32:56We didn't have lullabies.
32:57We had Peggy's a cappella group, the Ice Halos.
32:59They'd come and practice at our place and kind of singing our kids to sleep.
33:03When you're laughing.
33:06The whole situation has definitely brought us closer.
33:09And I love her so much that I just hope I can do her creativity justice.
33:17I guess the question here is what sort of tempo you want sort of as we run through this part
33:22here.
33:24Moderately fast.
33:26So sort of this sort of speed.
33:35A bit faster if you can.
33:37Okay.
33:38Cool.
33:39Life must be tricky at the moment.
33:42Our plans for life have changed.
33:44Everything's different.
33:45You know what?
33:46It's kind of a privilege to be able to be here for Peggy.
33:51Doing this.
33:52But yeah, I mean, I'm kind of the expression of Peggy now, I guess.
33:58And doing my best to express her communication to others in the way that she would.
34:03And I can understand things that others can't.
34:06But that's just that kind of harmony of having been together for so long.
34:11What are you hoping today will give you both?
34:15Well, for me, again, it's just...
34:17Oh, jeez.
34:19I thought I was going to be fine.
34:21You don't have to be fine.
34:22For me, it's just all about her.
34:25This is her time.
34:27And, um...
34:31This is just...
34:32It's Peggy's chance to express her music and I'm just the means of doing that.
34:38That's such a beautiful gesture of love.
34:41This love story is next level.
34:44It's...
34:45It's unfathomable.
35:05Oh, Cain's hands are shaking.
35:08He's so nervous, understandably.
35:14He's Peggy's voice.
35:34Breathe, Cain.
35:35You got this.
35:36You got this.
35:55This is one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen.
35:59Like, his hands are shaking so much.
36:02Trying to do the best job he possibly can for Peggy.
36:05What a beautiful man.
36:07Look at his...
36:08He's all on the...
36:09Okay.
36:23Oh, wow.
36:34Oh, yeah.
36:41Oh, my God.
36:44So...
36:49Oh, my God.
36:52Oh, my God.
36:53Oh, my God.
36:54Oh, my God.
37:03I would say this is probably one of the most important and meaningful moments I would say
37:07of my life to be able to do this for this amazing woman here how do you do we need
37:16to see the thumbs
37:17up yeah thumbs up you could have got the best piano player in the world to play that piece and
37:22it wouldn't have been as beautiful as Cain playing it like as an act of love I don't know if
37:28I've seen
37:28anything quite as beautiful as that thank you Peggy thank you Cain thank you I hope people take hope
37:37that no matter the situation no matter the condition I think the human spirit I think
37:42what Peggy's shown is that despite all of this she can still create this beautiful music and she can
37:48still express herself and if people come away with some hope for their own lives in maybe
37:53their difficult situations I think that would be great this is our final pianist I know we've been
38:05everywhere we've been everywhere we've heard a lot of things thank you so much I've got to get back
38:19to the piano here's a piano on wheels it's obviously him he really did not pack light did someone not

43:58The last slot. What do we need to round out a concert? I really liked Lewis
44:06I thought he had a mixture of everything that we're looking for
44:10He's great and he can play as well fantastic pianist
44:17In this cane
44:19Just turn seven never had a listen plays by ear
44:23I think Kane coming out at City Recital Hall would be a great shock for the audience and then there's
44:29Alice
44:29I'd reveal like a dream
44:33The best the best pianist we've heard
44:39You don't have to use your entertainment chops your musicality to make this decision. Oh, yeah, we go deep. Yeah,
44:44seriously factor in all the
44:46All the all the cell it is. Yeah
44:51Well, I'm glad it's not me I'll leave you to it. I'm not sure what that one is this is
44:55difficult
44:59As the market makes its final call
45:02Please make your way safely out of the market and the stalls begin to pack down
45:09We've lost our pianist together one final time
45:12I love this people I get to see all of you together
45:18You may have an inkling but it's not just the market goers who've been watching you today

45:35Andrea land and
45:37Australian superstar
45:41Mr. Guy Sebastian
45:48If I knew I was playing to Guy Sebastian, I would be very very very overwhelmed and nervous
45:53I'm glad I didn't know dude. How do you play so well at your age?
45:58I don't know
45:59You must love Mr. Piano the same as he loves music
46:03I think so. It's amazing to have the piano in your life every day. Yes. We've had a very interesting
46:08day
46:09We don't often get days out like this. No
46:16My friends don't know I'm here today. It probably will be a surprise to them. Being here is like
46:22insanely better than normal day at school
46:27In my opinion Danny Nong was my favorite we had such a range of emotions with so much joy some
46:34great piano playing
46:35But all in all
46:37Melbourne brought up the audience here were great and it was a lot of fun
