Although I think the concept of cocktail piano assumes
a certain connotation of intoxication, cocktail piano
need not be about alcohol. Tea may be just as effective.
I am reminded of a different time and place in New York—the
Mayfair, a small and elegant hotel off Central Park
near the Metropolitan Museum of Art. It was late afternoon
and my wife, Jerry, and I lounged comfortably in the
tearoom, just off the lobby. As we waited for a friend
to arrive, serving ladies in immaculate black dresses
and starched white aprons gracefully proffered properly
brewed tea in fine porcelain and delicate finger food
from gleaming silver - a perfect setting for the sound
of cocktail piano (An Affair To Remember), which permeated
the room, gently and quite effectively erasing all the
tensions of the day. Think, if Cary Grant had met Deborah
Kerr here things may have turned out differently. Just
