CLASSIC MAGICAL MUSIC CHILDRENS STORY ON A SET OF THREE UK CAPITOL 78s HENRY BLAIR WITH RAY TURNER AT THE PIANO NARRATION BY VERNE SMITH AND MUSIC FROM BILLY MAY
SPARKY'S MAGIC PIANOSparky's Magic Piano is the second in a series of children’s audio stories featuring Sparky, an original character created for Capitol Records in 1947. (Sparky also appeared in comic books as a sidekick to Capitol’s other famous creation, Bozo The Clown.) Sparky is a little boy with an overactive imagination. His adventures involve objects which magically come to life and talk to him.
Sparky's Magic Piano (recorded in Hollywood, October 1947; released 1948) became the best-known of all the Sparky stories.
Sparky is a young child who hates practising the piano. One day, when he expresses his dislike for practising, the piano talks to him, and tells him that he will show him what it is like to play the piano well, and that all Sparky has to do is run his fingers over the keys, and the piano will play whatever Sparky chooses. Sparky then amazes his mother with his playing, and she calls his piano teacher. The two adults decide to book concerts across the country, with Sparky as a solo pianist. Sparky insists that he must take his own piano with him to all his concerts, and his mother agrees. But the piano will play for Sparky only for a limited time, and this time runs out during a concert. Sparky begs the piano to play, but it does not respond, and Sparky is reduced to banging helplessly on the keys. He hears his mother calling him, and he awakens and finds himself at home. It then becomes apparent to the listener, and to Sparky, that the entire experience was a dream. But it has given Sparky a new appreciation of the piano, and he vows to keep practising until he can play as well as he did in his dream.
