“Take a piano. The keys begin, the keys end. You know there are 88 of them and no one can tell you differently. They are not infinite, you are infinite. And in those 88 keys the music that you can make is infinite.”
--the Legend of 1900
Danny Boodman T.D. Lemon, an orphan brought up by the coal stoker Danny, spends all his life on the ship, without a step on the land, and even vanishes with ship finally. He possesses a gift, a weird, unusual one for piano. No one knows where it comes from, maybe that’s so-called “talented”. Every time he plays for the top-class gust, it all becomes an interesting, amazing solo play. But the most beautiful music is played in the third-class capsule.
I admire the warder thought and casual fingers when he plays. It’s just like he is the king of his world, with the power to produce anything he likes and show them by happy, relaxing or peaceful music. Indeed, he owns a great gift, every 2000 people on the ship each time appreciate his performance. Even though he never steps down to the land, some people on the land know him, which results in the piano duel from Jelly Roll Morton, man who invents jazz. Jelly serves himself because of his arrogant. But technically, he lose due to 1900’s gift.
Is 1900 successful? Only known by 2000 people each time, who maybe forget him just after they get off. With only one old record left and just remembered by two men, he vanishes from the world with the ship. I don’t know if this can be called a success.
He has got many chances to get down the board, just as what his friend Max says, ”How successful we’d be”. And there is even a moment that he is going to stop on the land, but he turns back, and never leaves the board anymore.
