Englishman in NY

We found a Yamaha keyboard at a garage sale today. With this beauty you can play "Ain't Misbehanvin' all in car crash in the key of C. It's pretty rad. The woman was also selling a leather jacket that she had just bought for her husband but he left drunk and now she is selling it. The jacket didn't fit but the piano certainly fit my cultivated sensibilities with the demo song being Englishman in New York. It shows you which keys to push via a little screen with digital hands clapping and a stern voice occasionally yelling "if you don't practice harder Lee Kwon will shame you again" I think someone programmed that in and we haven't figured out how to change it yet.
Finn bangs on it and seems to prefer syncopated fifths. He enjoys "Banjo" and "Celestial" so far.
Finn's first time playing a Piano.
