Pianist plays in bathing suit on freezing beach
mainMeet Tomasz Szwielnik, a performer for whom climate holds no fears.
Yesterday, he stripped down to his bare neccessities and played piano on an icy Baltic beach while his pals plunged in for a dip.
The aim? To raise funds for a sick musician to have an operation in the US.
Watch here.
What Power art thou,
Who from below,
Hast made me rise,
Unwillingly and slow,
From beds of everlasting snow!
See’st thou not how stiff,
And wondrous old,
Far unfit to bear the bitter cold.
I can scarcely move,
Or draw my breath,
I can scarcely move,
Or draw my breath.
Let me, let me,
Let me, let me,
Freeze again…
Let me, let me,
Freeze again to death!
Bravo, Tomasz! What a thoughtful and caring gesture!
(Now you and your pals get back inside and have a hot toddy.)
