Anyone know anything about this fellow? - Apart from the fact that, apparently, he plays in some BBQ steakhouse! Another reaon that the modern commercialized world stinks.

Don't listen to it if it disturbs you, smart ass. Take your attitude off the blogasphere, you are becoming tiresome.......
ReplyDeleteI think that I am completely misunderstood by a lrge majority of those who read my stuff. I actually meant that here ios a fellow who is at least as good as Elizabeth Atwell and Liberace and yet the commercial world leaves him to play in a BBQ steakhouse. That's all.
DeleteBut, HGB, your solution is to get off my i-lawn - and stay off.
There are so many good pianists who never get famous but that's the luck of the draw. Some of them don't want to be, and are happy just playing. The piano, well that reminds me of old pub pianos and it's not actually a sound I like much. But thanks for sharing Nicholas. I understand, there there!
ReplyDeleteYes, I know that not every good musician wants to be a pro. but this fellow has cut records and the fact that he has so many recordings on youtube suggests that he would like a wider public audience. It is hotel-lobby\pub style playing and not that of the concert hall but no less good than so than Atwell-Liberace-Conway. It just makes me so sick that the Simon Cowells of this world have so much say and make fortunes out of promoting absolute dross - and so does the dross. Quite a different position from that which HGB assumed that I had on the subject.
