BEVERLY HILLS, CA. (Hilton Hotels Corporation) -Seventeen-time GRAMMY award-winning artist Vince Gill autographs the Hilton Harmony Piano at the Las Vegas Hilton, December 8, 2006, helping inspire children and raise funds for music education. Launching backstage at the 48th Annual GRAMMY awards, the grand piano is on a nationwide tour. For each signature collected, the hotel chain is donating $1,000 to the GRAMMY Foundation in support of its music education programs and has already raised more than $100,000. Gill is one of twenty-nine GRAMMY nominees including Mary J. Blige, James Blunt and John Legend who have autographed the grand piano, with more than 100 artists' signatures adorning the instrument to date. The piano will be auctioned for charity after the 49th Annual GRAMMY Awards. (Photograph provided by Hilton Hotels)
