He draws some attention from the people passing by, but he\u2019s content to just play the instrument.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Out of nowhere, Brendan Kavanagh shows up and starts jamming with the man. Brendan, also known as \u2018Dr. K.\u2019 starts laying down some boogie-woogie piano style with the other man.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Brendan jams on the keyboard while standing next to the seated gentleman. Eventually, Brendan sits down to his left and adds the bassline for the songs. They played together for over 5 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>More and more people stop to listen to the loud, boisterous piano duet in the middle of a station. Cellphones are used to film the event, which now has millions and millions of views.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"548\" height=\"306\" src=\"https:\/\/istori.website\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/image-68.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4080\" srcset=\"https:\/\/istori.website\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/image-68.png 548w, https:\/\/istori.website\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/image-68-300x168.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 548px) 100vw, 548px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Two strangers meet at a lonely piano and, without saying a word, begin playing music in a way that is like magic. In between songs, Brendan asks the man if he knows specific tunes, and they continue jamming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This isn\u2019t the first time Brendan has done this type of thing. He is all over the internet, jumping in while people play pianos at train stations and shopping malls. He joins anyone he can find to make music and have fun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"551\" height=\"302\" src=\"https:\/\/istori.website\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/image-69.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4081\" srcset=\"https:\/\/istori.website\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/image-69.png 551w, https:\/\/istori.website\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/image-69-300x164.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 551px) 100vw, 551px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Brendan has a Ph.
