Mayo Clinic Piano Magic "Smile When Your Heart Is Breaking". Wheel Chair Dancer..

The piano player at Mayo Clinic in Rochester,MN Tuesday played "Smile When Your Heart Is Breaking". But the person that stole my heart was the girl in a wheel chair dancing to the music. It was beautiful. I talked with Shelley Knothe, the dancer and Mary Houk, the girl signing, and the piano player Jane, on Tuesday and it was a" Blessed" day! People stopped to sing along and enjoy the music.The Mayo Clinic is a place where miracles happen, but,Tuesday,God showed up at the piano!

Just to frame the picture for those who haven't been to Mayo, this piano is set up in a giant 3-story lobby in the middle of the building where hundreds of people may be passing by each minute. Its right by the cafeteria, so many people grab lunch and go sit down here. The piano was made in Vienna, Austria and was donated to Mayo. It was placed in the lobby for anyone to come by and use at any time.

@stoots24 Since its in a high-traffic area, people tend to go on about their business - its not intended to be rude, so if someone is playing, people are welcome to stop and listen.

@Judyp77 It's possible it might be considered rude to criticize some people who are busy minding their business in the lobby of The Mayo Clinic ... hello?

This was awesome! I love it! But what's with the lady to the far left who never looks at this dancer? And the people chatting? Rudeness is everywhere I guess.

God bless the dancer and the piano player. Wonderful!
