John Mauceri at the original piano from Rick's Cafe

John Mauceri, director of the Hollywood Bowl Orchestra, is seated at the original piano from Rick's Cafe as featured in the film CASABLANCA -- the same piano at which Dooley Wilson played "As Time Goes By." Owned by collector Dr. Gary Milan, the piano was loaned for the concerts conducted by Maestro Mauceri because Dr. Milan felt that as a film historian, Mauceri would truly appreciate using the priceless instrument.
