Pianafiddle, the primal orchestra

Playing the polyphonic piano and the vocal violin respectively, Randy Morris and Adam DeGraff deconstructed and reassembled a diverse selection of music on the spot at the Outer Banks Forum concert at First Flight High School Saturday evening. If you have a program you can throw it away, because we really don’t know what we’ll play until we play it, said DeGraff. Old Man River, Ain’t Misbehavin’, Autumn Leaves, Ashokan Farewell, Wabash Cannonball, Stairway to Heaven (that’s right), Maple Leaf Rag, the Beautiful Tennessee Waltz, Amazing Grace/America the Beautiful and other eclectic selections comprised a terrific program that would have gotten them thrown out of the Tea Room at the Plaza – no background music this.
