The Piano Man
An unidentified man who became known as "Piano Man" was treated at Medway Hospital during April, 2005. The man was found wandering the streets in Sheerness, wearing a soaking wet suit and tie. Despite many attempts to communicate with him, he remained silent. When given a pen and paper he drew a grand piano. When taken to a piano in the hospital chapel, he played classical music non-stop for four hours. After four months he revealed his identity as Andreas Grassl from Bavaria, and he returned home.
