I met Liberace in 1983 in Palm Springs. He used to take his vintage London taxi car to the airport and offer tourists free rides to their hotel as well as pick up any guests he had coming in to stay at his home. I was there as part of touring musical act doing the tourists area of CA and Nevada. He was at the airport waiting for guests with is taxi. He stood on the sidewalk and talked to everyone who came up to him, signed autographs, took photos, shook hands for a good 30min before his guests arrived. You couldn't have asked for a more gracious and kind celebrity.

He then took all the strength he had to tell me that he and grandma got to eat the leftovers from the table at the buffet where Liberace was eating on their trip to Vegas. He said they saw him clip his nails at that table and they picked up the clippings. He told me I could have them when he is gone. I have them under a lock in a safe and I treasure owning them.

My Dad loved Liberace, and played these songs, similar style. Down the street lived a classical pianist. Oh, those summer nights when all the windows were open! Sometimes even dueling pieces, so wonderful!

You can tell by the drummer starting and stopping that it's in the moment. The drummer is doing the best he can to flow with him.

Wow... To take many requests from the audience and turn it into one brilliant medley with key change modulations, glissandos, and a weaving of Melody in such a seamless way is just quite brilliant! This man truly was a genius on the piano!

The Player Formerly Known as Mousecop: Science is blossoming, yes. However, our culture is surely going down the drain. We'd rather use computers to make music then use our minds and creativity.

Charles Anthony see, that's another generalization that's not very intelligent to make. Just because you don't listen to today's music, and by no means do I mean top 40, I mean the real music hidden in today's musical landscape. The only real reason you notice all these things going wrong is because you actually get to see everything that goes wrong now. Back in the day you just read a newspaper with a select few items to take up, now we have instant access to every awful thing. And as for musicians now a days using computers, it's not like you type in the word "song" and you get a song and boom that's a hit. That's borderline retarded thinking if that's what you think music is in 2017.
