Hi Susan, I totally agree. This all-day-computer-staring does something bad to the brain, I'm sure. I learned to play the viola still at age 19 and have only had the nicest encounters and much fun with it. Even played Dvorak's "New World Symphony". Knowing how to play an instrument is like being in Paradise. 🎼🎵🎹🎷🎻🎻🎻🎻🥁🎺🎶.

Ernest Jennings Ford (February 13, 1919 - October 17, 1991), known professionally as Tennessee Ernie Ford, was an American singer and television host who enjoyed success in the country and Western, pop, and gospel musical genres. Noted for his rich bass-baritone voice and down-home humor, he is remembered for his hit recordings of "The Shotgun Boogie" and his version of "Sixteen Tons." Władziu Valentino Liberace[nb 1] (May 16, 1919 - February 4, 1987) was an American pianist, singer and actor.[2] A child prodigy born in Wisconsin to parents of Italian and Polish origin, Liberace enjoyed a career spanning four decades of concerts, recordings, television, motion pictures, and endorsements. At the height of his fame, from the 1950s to the 1970s, Liberace was the highest-paid entertainer in the world,[3] with established concert residencies in Las Vegas, and an international touring schedule. Liberace embraced a lifestyle of flamboyant excess both on and off stage, acquiring the nickname "Mr. Showmanship."

I met a woman recently who went to a couple of dozen of his concerts. Liberace got to know her and even socilaised with her a few times. She said he was an incredible person, very kind and thoughful at all times. She said he seemd to have this aura about him. He certainly affected a lot of people with his genius and fun nature.

Liberace grew up in West Allis WI a suburb adjacent just west and south of Milwaukee. I was raised in Wauwatosa WI adjacent to the west of Milwaukee and I was a lot younger than Mr. Liberace. Every year my high school would put on a fund raising variety show. I was a reasonably decent player so I decided to audition with a tricked up serious classical piano piece inserting various "children's tunes" and do a Liberace knock-off. He was very much of the current culture so everyone "got" it. My mother was a Northwestern University piano graduate and helped me finesse the little tunes into the act. I came out on stage wearing a tux, carrying a candlelabra. Part of the "shtick" was not being able to light the candles with my matches along with a little physical clumsiness ala' Victor Borge, getting seated and settled at the grand piano. Apparently it was received well enough that the theater teacher had me play in the second night's program also. That was my one and only foray into musical comedy.

Larry DeWein, We'll, not the best pianist ever. He was a showman of the highest caliber and knew how to "sell" classical and popular music to a wide audience many of whom were introduced to classical works due to him. Victor Borge, also a world class comic entertainer using the piano as the vehicle to perform his humor was a world class professional classical concert artist who performed with professional orchestras throughout Europe. He sort of fell into being a comedian by accident. Read about it. He was a better player than Liberace, but that wasn't Liberace's interest. He a consummate showman. Both if them had their own tv shows. Look both up on KZbin.
