I think these are hinting to phone numbers, looking into it before I post my half-educated guess.
EDIT: Flipping the numbers backwards brings up 123 223 333 2123 992 222 333 2123, but converting that into two phone numbers brings up three (six total) extra numbers. (123) 223-333-2123, (992) 222-333-2123
I'm pretty sure this is just for the piano, but I looked up the two area codes, 123, 992, and found these:
[1.](http://www.phonenumber001.com/nu/1-877-333-2123.aspx) Matches 7 last letters from the first number, but that's all. Probably unrelated.
[2.](http://800notes.com/AreaCode.aspx/1-123) Reports from the area code of the first number.
Someone on this page said something that caught my eye:

Caller was 123-123-1234
NOTE: 123 and 992 are **not** US area codes.
EDIT: I looked up Shepherd Company on Google, and I found a website - [http://www.theshepherdcompany.net/](http://www.theshepherdcompany.net/) - that was lacking a description because their robots.txt was screwy. The website looks unprofessionally done, their terms and conditions is in Latin, translate using Google brings a confusing paragraph, so I decided to look up the founder, (who founded the company in 1996) Thomas Nielsen. I found a LinkedIn page for Thomas Nielsens, one caught my eye because he lives in Seattle. [He](http://www.linkedin.com/profile/view?id=2684250&authType=name&authToken=27ZF&locale=en_US&pvs=pp&pohelp=&trk=ndir_viewmore) also works in Computer Software. I realize this may be too much of something Valve (or anyone) to do just in 2012, but maybe there's some hint here.
EDIT: I also turned the location and time will be everything thing into binary, 0 being lowercase, 1 being capital, ignoring spaces. It turned into 5 binary codes, which translated to F9. Doesnt look like there is anything on the pages that says something happens when f9 is pressed.
Binary:
00011101 01000110 00000101 10100000 00111001
```
