Czech tabloid daily claims Piano Man is Czech

The Czech tabloid daily Blesk on Tuesday published a childhood picture of musician Tomas Strnad, claiming it had proof that he is the mystery Piano Man found wandering on an English beach last month. The picture of Strnad, aged ten, shows a stark resemblance to the still unidentified man. The mother of a former classmate of Strnad's provided the photograph saying she had recognized him instantly. Two other musicians who used to perform in a band with Strnad also think that the mystery man is their old friend, describing him as a lonely genius who can play classical music from memory.
