Canadian Painter Finds Fame After A Video Of Him Playing Piano On His Lunch Break Goes Viral

Have you ever been minding your own business and suddenly stopped in your tracks by the sound of beautiful music? Hearing someone play an instrument with heart and passion is good for the soul.

Archie Gould is a painter by trade, but when he saw a lonely piano at a worksite, he knew exactly what to do. A coworker caught a video of Archie tickling the ivories on a baby grand, and the sounds are simply incredible.

Archie’s coworker originally posted the video to their Instagram, @mudbug07_amr , to share his talent. They were working at the Stanley Milner Library in Edmonton, Alberta when he sat down and began to play Lou Ni’s arrangement of Bach’s Prelude No. 2 in G Minor. He had no sheet music, no help, just raw talent.

Archie Didn’t Look Like a Concert Pianist That Day

He was dressed for work on a construction site, not a concert hall, but that didn’t matter. His ability to play beautiful music had nothing to do with his clothing.

The video was shared by @duesttodigital on Instagram where it quickly went viral .

People loved Archie’s music.

One person wrote, “My wish for the player…may you always have a piano available when you want, and may you always leave work safely with no injuries to your hands, fingers, arms or anywhere else on your body or in your mind. Thank you for sharing your passion and hard work for all those years at the keys. Hearing your performance today was a joy.”

“I love when musicians just bust it out! What a treat for the guy in the beanie playing it cool in the background,” this person agreed.

One supporter reminded us that looks can be deceiving and Archie is a perfect example and there are plenty of people just like him.

“I work plumbing and remodeling homes and am also a classically trained cellist and composer. Never judge a book by its cover.”
