Jordan Rudess .. not sure how to post video, but look him up. Mostly keyboard player not piano.

And the guy who thinks Danny Carrey is better than Peart. YIKES! Dont get me wrong Danny is great though.

Toss-up between Bugs Bunny and Tom from Tom and Jerry.

Few pianists can play Franz Liszt like they do.

Not the best pianist but probably one of my favorite songs accompanied by piano.

I don't have any idea who the best musician is, but Benmont Tench from Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers has the coolest name I'm aware of. Yuja Wang isn't a bad one either.

Can't say that I have ever just listed to a Pianist playing solo very much. Not my kind of music style.

On a side note, I always wished I could walk into a room full of people with a piano sitting in the corner, sit down and start playing so everyone would gather around.

I could but it would have the opposite effect. People would be running for the door like someone yelled allahu Akbar.

Depending on the style of music that floats your boat is where many of you want to lay your claim.

Just a little about Burger.... Anthony Burger was born in Cleveland, Tennessee to Richard and Jean Burger. At age eight months, he was using a baby walker and fell into a heating duct on the floor of his house. He suffered third degree burns on his hands, face and, legs. After suffering the burns, Burger's doctor told his parents he was very likely to not be able to move his hands in the future. Despite the odds, Burger recovered. At the age of five, he was accepted at the Cadek Conservatory, University of Tennessee at Chattanooga. A child prodigy, Burger was playing classical piano repertoire within a few years. Burger graduated from Bradley Central High School in Cleveland.

After watching these 2 video's, if you can tell me your cat ( pianist ) can do this, I've got nothing to say to ya.

**DaneMcCloud** · 12-02-2017, 08:01 PM

For the record, I am not a classical pianist nor was I classically trained.

I grew up on a Hammond M3, which is a self-contained version of the Hammond B3, the grand daddy of all blues and rock organs.

My wife is a classically trained pianist that won a ton of competitions as a teenager in northern California.

But she can only play by sheet music, can't play by ear and doesn't compose music.

Ha! No thanks.

Meta data is embedded in my files and that would not end well...

My favorite composer and I like Anna Fedorova for many reasons.

Eric Carmen ripped off Rachmaninoff's Piano Concerto #2 for his seminal hit All By Myself.You hear just a tickle of it right about 2:15, then the full theme in the second movement at about 13:30.

**srvy** · 12-02-2017, 10:11 PM

Alicia de Larrocha was my Moms favorite pianist and this was played over and over on the RCA console growing up. When your a kid you roll your eyes go to the basement and play The Stones but I really liked it to.
