Pianists are two a penny, I think this one needs a gimmick

I once read about a man who interviewed George Gershwin about how Gershwin wrote so many great songs. Gershwin explained that there are a lot of tricks to be used. For example, if he wrote a phrase and didn’t know what to do next, he sometimes just repeated the phrase in an inverted form. In other words, he wrote it upside down. Maybe that is what this piano player was trying to do.

Always a show off. To take a cue from GG, how about inverting the pianist and piano so he is holding up the piano.

I thought about that – but wasn't sure how the people in the background would look standing on their heads. What do you think?
