This show knocked our socks off! This group hadn't been together in over two years and Big Red Sam was the perfect way to celebrate all that we have been through and what we have to look forward to. Sam has a way of getting people out of their chairs, screaming at the top of their lungs and just enjoying life! Just what we needed!

“Fun Pianos was the perfect addition to our fundraiser! Sam & Brandon were amazing to work with before, during, and after the event. The way they interacted with nearly every one of the 300+ attendees of our event was exactly what we were looking for when deciding on entertainment. 10/10 would recommend Fun Pianos for your event.”

Apparently we/you are the talk of town! I desperately needed a night of laughter and you provided. The moment I had with my dad attempting (or not) to spell Huskers was one I will never forget... Was special. We still are laughing about it. Was so fun, glad you enjoyed as well.

Our ruralMED team had such a FANTASTIC night with Big Red Sam! Our team could not stop talking about how much fun they had. Big Red Sam was a crowd pleaser and very talented, the way he could rattle off songs was incredible! Big Red Sam did not disappoint and hopefully we can bring him back again!

We had Fun Pianos for our annual school fundraising banquet in the fall of 2021 and hope that this can be a recurring relationship! Not only were the Fun Pianos incredibly straightforward with every detail and easy to work with-but it was a FANTASTIC event! This was the 20th year of our fundraiser, and multiple attendees told me that this was the best entertainment that we have ever had. The talent of the performers, and quality of the show are unmatched! If you are on the fence-BOOK NOW!

We used Fun Pianos as the entertainment at our 60th Anniversary celebration! It was the first time our non-profit had ever hosted an event. We sold over 300 tickets and it was an absolute success. Sam had people on their feet, at the piano and dancing in their chairs all night long. He is an expert at getting people involved and interacting! They were amazing to work with leading up to the event too as they quickly responded to all of my questions and really helped us set up the room for success. I would highly recommend them to anyone booking an event!

Nebraska City, NE - Monday, September 13th, 2021
We truly enjoyed Fun Pianos. From the beginning, they were easy to work with, fast to respond, and were great at communicating. We had a variety of young to elder at the wedding reception. My papa who is 90 years young was up in the front interacting and having a great time! He said it was one of the best times he has had in a while! We have had nothing but compliments and several people have said this one of the best weddings they have ever been to. Don’t worry if your group has never seen dueling pianos, Fun Pianos interacts in a tasteful way that has everyone laughing and doesn’t embarrass anyone. Fun Pianos made our wedding reception perfect! We had a Monday wedding, with a smaller crowd and it was perfect! Our guests really interacted and everyone was included. We highly recommend Fun Pianos for any type of get together!

The Fun Pianos crew arrived ready to go with a ton of energy. It was a difficult evening – the hottest and most humid night thus far in 2021. The conditions didn’t stop the fun and entertainment. The crowd grew in energy and interaction due to the quality of performance and the non-stop fun by Fun Pianos. You can tell they truly have fun in entertaining people. Another popular phase used by many to describe Fun Pianos – extremely talented! We will book again in 2022!

Thank you so much for entertaining our crew! Everyone I’ve talked to had an absolute blast, even if they had to leave early for the trauma call. Thank you for being so understanding of their quick absence!
We have been putting on large parties for our hospital staff for many years, and having Big Red Sam as our entertainment this year was hands down the best we’ve ever had! The variety of music Sam played covered all of the generations in attendance, everyone had a blast!

MORE ABOUT LOUP CITY
Fun Pianos is proud to have ties to Loup City
The first settlement at Loup City was made in the early 1870s.[7] Loup City was platted in 1873, and designated county seat.[8] Loup City was named after the Loup River.[9] During the Great Depression, Loup City was the site of a clash between radical leftists, influenced by Mother Bloor, who clashed with area residents in June 1934 following efforts by Communists to organize the workers of a poultry processing plant. The completion of Sherman Reservoir in 1963 added tourism to the area’s economic base.
For many years Loup City has proclaimed itself as the “Polish capital of Nebraska,” due to a significant Polish population (see Polonia). “Polish Days” is an annual community event held on the first weekend of June. The town’s Catholic church, Saint Josaphat’s, features stained glass windows commemorating area families, most with Polish names. The windows were salvaged from the previous St. Josaphat’s and date from the early 1900s.[13]
The early Loup City settlement has been depicted in the 2014 movie The Homesman.[14]

Dueling for a Few Laughs in Rapid City SD!
The show is called “Dueling Pianos,” but you won’t see these pianists competing for audience attention.
“It’s a bit of a misnomer,” said Sam Ferguson, owner and lead player of 176 Keys Fun Pianos. “It’s more about interaction with and response from the audience.”
Ferguson, Jefrey Taylor and Steven Ramirez will take their interactive song and comedy show to Rapid City at 7 p.m. Saturday.
The three will each bring their own specialty as performers to Rapid City, something Ferguson says is perfectly suited to keeping the show lively.
“Jefrey’s the perfect guy for a rock ‘n’ roll song, and a great singer,” Ferguson said. “My strength is humor, bringing comedy to the show. Steven’s a little bit of both. Plus he’s the youngest on staff, so he’s perfect for newer songs while Jeffrey and I cover older material.”
Ferguson said that the show usually has two performers on stage at a time, with the two working together as a musical-comedy team.
“It’s kind of an Abbott and Costello dynamic,” Ferguson said. “Neither performer is the sidekick, they’re equally important.”
Ferguson said that each member was adept at switching to whatever the moment called for, however.
“I am for anything that works in the moment,” Ferguson said. “My favorite way to entertain is making people laugh, but if the crowd wants to sing more than laugh, I’m happy to do that.”
Ferguson said that the key is reading the crowd and acting accordingly, playing whatever is going to get the best reaction out of the crowd in the moment.
Megan Whitman, executive director of Main Street Square, said that this is the second time they’ve invited this particular Dueling Pianos group, with Main Street Square previously hosting other groups with similar shows. Whitman said that it’s a perfect show for the whole family.
“We see a variety of ages of people coming downtown for this show, from young families to older adults,” Whitman said. “It’s a great chance to create memories for families in particular.”
Whitman said that it’s a great variety show, mixing comedy with Elton John or Billy Joel classics and contemporary hits.
“They also take special requests,” Whitman said. “If there’s a song you want to hear, they’ll probably be able to perform it.”
Ferguson said that they keep up with the biggest hits, as they change from month to month.
“Last year, ‘All About That Bass’ was our biggest song for a while, and then two months later it wasn’t,” Ferguson said. “Whereas something like ‘Brown Eyed Girl’ is never our most popular song in the set, but they’re consistently in the top 10 because people know them and don’t get tired of them.”
Ferguson said that he looked forward to interacting with the audience and getting them to be a part of the show.
“If we’re just on stage, there’s an imaginary wall between us and the audience,” Ferguson said. “We want to break through that wall, become more tangible and get a more personal connection.”

Silent Night (1818)
Words: Josef Mohr
Music: Franz Xaver Gruber
Arguably the world’s most popular Christmas carol comes in several different translations from the German original. It started out as a poem by the Austrian Catholic priest Father Josef Mohr in 1816. Two years later, Mohr was curate at the parish church of St Nicola in Oberndorf when he asked the organist and local schoolteacher Franz Xaver Gruber to put music to his words.
An unreliable legend has it that the church organ had been damaged by mice, but whatever the reason, Gruber wrote it to be performed by two voices and guitar. It was first performed at midnight mass on Christmas Eve 1818, with Mohr and Gruber themselves taking the solo voice roles.
Its fame eventually spread (allegedly it has been translated into over 300 languages and dialects) and it famously played a key role in the unofficial truce in the trenches in 1914 because it was one of the only carols that both British and German soldiers knew.

Maybe Carols will be requested in Topeka KS, Kearney NE, Madison WI and Orlando FL at this week’s shows…
We don’t often get requests for our dueling pianos to play Carols anytime other than Christmas.
According to WhyChristmas.com, “Carols were first sung in Europe thousands of years ago, but these were not Christmas Carols. They were pagan songs, sung at the Winter Solstice celebrations as people danced round stone circles (The word carol originally meant to dance to something). The Winter Solstice is the shortest day of the year, usually taking place around the 22nd December. The word Carol actually means dance or a song of praise and joy! Carols used to be written and sung during all four seasons, but only the tradition of singing them at Christmas has really survived.”
Actually, after that explanation… I stand corrected. We get asked to play ALL kinds of Carols, we just call them anthems or oldies or ballads. There are always those songs that take us back to another time in our lives. We can remember the first time we heard the song. The first time we danced to it, and the first time we laughed / cried during it. They make us want to dance and be happy. I know I have a few. Whatever your favorite Carol is… whether it is Katy Perry’s “California Gurls” or Bing Crosby’s “White Christmas,” we hope to hear requests from everyone at our shows. We are here to put MORE FUN in your day!
A little history lesson… New York, NY has the bragging rights for having the oldest “Pianoforte” in existence.
“The year 1709 is the one most sources give for the appearance of aninstrument which can truly be called a “Pianoforte.” The writer Scipione Maffei wrote an article that year about the pianoforte created by Bartolomeo Cristofori (1655-1732), who had probably produced four “gravicembali col piano e forte” or harpsichords with soft and loud. This instrument featured the first real escapement mechanism and is often called a “hammer harpsichord.” The small hammers were leather covered. It had bichords throughout, and all the dampers were wedge-shaped. By 1726 he seems to have fitted a stop for the action to make the hammers strike only one of two strings. He had produced about twenty pianos by this time and then he is presumed to have gone back to making harpsichords, probably from the lack of interest in his pianos. Three of his pianos remain extant today: one with four octaves, dated 1720, is in NewYork; one with four and a half octaves, from 1726, is in Leipzig, Germany; and there is one in Rome from 1722. There are approximately ten plucked instruments surviving today with the name Cristofori on them.” – www.piano-tuners.org
I wonder if that piano can hold a tune? In all seriousness, though, the piano has been used to entertain and educate people for a very long time. At Fun Pianos by 176 Keys Dueling Pianos, we keep that tradition alive by giving our clients the most entertaining show possible. We love that we can share our joy of music and FUN with you!
Short and sweet
Sometimes word from the road is short and sweet.
“Grand Slam,” said Tyler and Steven of their show in Nebraska on August 15th.
By which they were referring to a bases loaded home run, not a certain restaurant chain’s breakfast special.

Theatre or Theater … we do that
While a typical 176 Keys Fun Pianos! show would be performed in the round, sometimes we hop in the Way Back Machine and find ourselves in front of plush seats up on a stage with a proscenium and everything. That’s right, we just used a 25¢ word — “proscenium,” the front part of a stage. Not to be confused with proboscis, which would be putting our nose in it. If we had a really long snout, or a trunk. But to get back to our story…
…we have a good time in an auditorium, too. The audience still gets up and dances.
And gets down and dances…
…and has a great time, comfy seats and all!
Many thanks to the Rivoli Theatre in Seward, Nebraska. We had a great time!
Mini but Mighty in Minnesota
Nisswa, Minnesota, has a population of 1,971. Map coordinates are 46º 30’N 94º 17’W. Has a store called Zaiser’s: shoes, kitchenware, and kid’s toys. Frank and Ty were there on Friday — and the Nisswa audience, which included lots of kids, had a blast.
No word on how many dancing shoes were moccasins…
This week’s map
This week, we have not one, but TWO gigs in the only U.S. state whose east and west borders are formed by rivers. (Want a hint? The cities we will be in are Ottumwa and Boyden.) Meanwhile, Jefrey and Steven will be heading up to Carrington, ND. And Sam, George, and Matt will be trucking east — WAY east — to play in Portland, ME.
Which means 176 Keys will hit longitudes from 70ºW to just about 100ºW. That’s a lotta latitude — done with a FUN attitude.
(Still want to know what that state we’re going to twice is? That would be Iowa — about 90º W to 96ºW.)
