(STEVE KINCHEN) HALL PIANO COMPANY BECAME ENGAGED IN THE PROCESS OF THE BLUE DOG PIANO THROUGH THE COURSE OF CONVERSATIONS WITH THE LSU FOUNDATION AND THE RODRIGUE FOUNDATION, TRYING TO CONSIDER CREATIVE WAYS TO RAISE THE MONEY TO BENEFIT FOR THE RODRIGUE FOUNDATION AND THEIR WONDERFUL CAUSES AND LSU. (STEVE BECK) IT'S REALLY A PRIVILEGE AND AN HONOR TO BE WORKING WITH RODRIGUE FOUNDATION. WE HAVE A LOT OF COMMON IDEAS AND COMMON VALUES: THE VALUE OF ARTS IN EDUCATION, THE VALUE OF ARTS IN SOCIETY AND THE CULTURE, AND THE IMPORTANCE OF ARTS AS A WAY OF EXPRESSING OUR COMMUNITY. (GEORGE RODRIGUE) WHEN I PAINT A BLUE DOG, I BRING IT IN MY STUDIO AND A BLANK CANVAS. AND I PUT IT THERE AND I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT I'M GOING TO PAINT, AND I HAVE TO DO IT THAT WAY BECAUSE I WANT IT TO BE REALLY UNIQUE TO ME. I WANT IT TO BE EXCITING, AND I WANT IT TO BE SOMETHING FRESH IN MY MIND. I DON'T HAVE A PRECONCEIVED IDEA. SO, I APPROACHED THE PIANO THE SAME WAY. I GOT THE TOP OF THE PIANO BROUGHT TO MY STUDIO AND PUT IT ON MY EASEL AND LOOKED AT IT AND SAID, "WHAT IN THE HELL AM I GOING TO DO WITH THE TOP." AND WHEN I LOOKED AT THE TOP I SAID, "HMMM, I THINK I'LL PAINT MUSIC, WHATEVER THAT IS." I HAD NO IDEA, I'D NEVER PAINTED MUSIC BEFORE. AND THEN WHEN I CAME HERE TO THE WAREHOUSE TO PAINT THE REST OF THE PIANO, I WANTED TO KEEP THAT SAME DESIGN OF MUSIC WITH ALL THE COLORS INTERWOVEN WITH THE BLUE DOG SHAPES. (BECK) WELL, IT WAS JUST SO EXCITING TO SEE THE RODRIGUE STEINWAY UNVEILED IN FRONT OF A VERY CAPTIVE AUDIENCE AT THE PMAC RIGHT BEFORE THE MISSISSIPPI STATE GAME. THAT WAS JUST SUCH AN EXCITING MOMENT TO SEE A GREAT PIANO, A REAL WORK OF ART AS A MUSICAL INSTRUMENT THAT'S ALSO A REAL WORK OF ART, AS PAINTED BY THE GREAT PAINTER GEORGE RODRIGUE. (RODRIGUE) TO TEAM UP WITH MY FOUNDATION, AND THE LSU MUSIC DEPARTMENT IS A REAL CHALLENGE, AND SOMETHING NEW, SOMETHING EXCITING. I LIKE TO DO PROJECTS THAT ARE NEW, YOU KNOW, SOMETHING THAT I'VE NEVER DONE BEFORE, SOMETHING THAT EXCITES A LOT OF PEOPLE. (BECK) THE IDEA THAT WE'RE COMBINING A WORLD CLASS ARTISTIC INSTRUMENT LIKE A STEINWAY PIANO WITH A WORLD CLASS ARTIST AS GEORGE RODRIGUE AND TO CREATE NEWLY AN OBJECT THAT WILL BE A SIGNATURE, AN ICON OF BOTH LSU, THE SCHOOL OF MUSIC, THE BLUE DOG, RODRIGUE'S LOUISIANA AS A WHOLE, THIS IS REALLY A MAGNIFICENT MOMENT.
