I am very interested to know as much as can be found out about Al Hansen’s ‘Piano Drops’. Sadly – or perhaps not so depending on how things turn out – we are not going to be able to do a “Piano Drop” form a helicopter in Launceston next Monday at 11: 11 AM because of the weather. The intention was/is to honour Al Hansen ‘Yoko Ono Piano Drops’ and to tell the stories that go with it/them.
We did however do the ‘Yoko Ono Egg Drop’ – <YOEDone> –just after 7:11 pm last night outside the <PIANOshop> that donated the piano for the ‘YOKO ONO PIANO DROP: Helicopter 7250’ – <YOPDhelicopter7250> – in honour of Al Hansen’s drops and like them dedicated to Yoko Ono. The <YOEDlaunceston#1> went of well and serendipity was very kind to us. – Website coming up! – AND it has worked well for us in promoting the <YOPDhelicopter7250> whenever that eventually takes place. What‘s turned out to be best about this is the opportunity to tell the ‘Al Hansen Piano Drop Story’ and the interest there seems to be in it.
It would be very good if more information about Al Hansen’s drops’ was available and if Secret Fluxus, or someone/anyone, could tell me/us it would be much appreciated not only by myself but also by all those now caught up in realising <YOPDhelicopter7250>.

Dear Secret Fluxus,
I'm not sure when exactly, but as I tried to say, Al Hansen did infact
rename his piece 'Yoko Ono Piano Drop'. There's quite a bit written about
it, even references in old Fluxlist digests, unfortunately it's all a bit
vague.
Perhaps you could put your investigative hat on and find out more, I for
one would be interested to know a bit more. Unfortunately I am soemwhat
snowed under and stressed out at the moment to do this myself.
Have you been checking your 'portraits'? You could perhaps respond with
portaits of those who have done the portraits....I'd be happy to host it.
Bets wishes
Alan
