CLEARWATER — Chance Nye casually improvised on a grand piano.

The 13-year-old fluidly moved among popular melodies like Flight of the Bumblebee and ABC by the Jackson Five.

He has come a long way from Cambodia, where he was born, to play for a television segment called Fingers of Nye on the Just Teens program that will showcase his talents on Pinellas County School TV 14. Dates and times of the broadcast have not been set.

About 40 people showed up Thursday afternoon for the taping, which took place at La Grande Hall at Piano Distributors in Clearwater.

Chance was adopted when he was 4 months old in 1997
