This reminded me of Cayce taken to the pathological extreme, except I suppose she might go around drawing pictures of Bibendum... or possibly The Footage.


Mystery piano man
A month ago, police in Sheerness, Kent, England, picked up this man wandering the streets soaking wet and wearing a suit. He hasn't said a word since the police found him but apparently he plays piano beautifully. From the BBC News:

The man's talent came to light after staff at the Medway Maritime Hospital gave him a pen and paper in the hope he would write his name.

Instead the patient, dubbed The Piano Man, drew very detailed pictures of a grand piano.

The man shocked staff with a performance of classical music after (social worker Michael) Camp showed him the piano in the hospital's chapel... (The adult mental health manager for the West Kent NHS and Social Care Trust) said that the labels had been removed from every item of clothing the man was wearing when he was found on The Broadway in Minster, Sheerness.

Rest of story

A different kind of hypersensitivity

My guess would be that the piano man removed the lables because he found them scratchy, not because of the brands woven (or gasp - printed!) onto them.

Or the labels could have been taken off by the clothing section of the M.I.B. before erasing his memory.

You know they can do it...

Kinda reminds me of Kasper Hauser.

Actually, when I first heard about his clothes and labels, I thought they might have been handmade by someone - not a tailor, but someone who might just know how to make a suit.

Whatever the rest of the story is, curious as it may be, if the clothes he wears in the photo are the ones with out labels, then that is not a tailor made shirt.
The young mans jacket could be tailor made, hasn't the look though. Even so tailors put lables in their jackets also, removing them from the inside pocket of a mans lined jacket is rather more work, though easy enough to do.
I remove lables when it won't harm the clothes, have done so for ages... Can't play the piano though.

My personal opinion is that he's an asylum seeker who wants to benefit from full bed and board and free piano at our expense. He's been booted out of all the other countries of the EU and doesn't want to be repatriated. He cut out the labels himself.

Hah, he's lucky if that's the case. In Australia it would've been six years since he got anywhere remotely near a piano.
