#NowPlaying: Supertramp: Even In The Quietest Moments... 1977. Very Christmassy album cover at least....
![The front cover is a photo of an actual snow-covered piano and bench with a scenic mountain peak backdrop—an actual, but gutted, grand piano was brought to the Eldora Mountain Resort (a ski area near Caribou Ranch Studios)—which was left overnight and photographed after a fresh snowfall.[12] The sheet music on the piano, though titled "Fool's Overture", is actually "The Star-Spangled Banner".](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:vdjxl72vvb4wlmdle7vi2nto/bafkreidhurajl6ekrkpdvvf2rmytth7abxgd33fxgdyctrdojg4xg4l2ii@jpeg)
