Look, you can come to grips with the fact the Ferriday Fireball is a kind of creepy guy who could rock a piano better than anyone else in rock music history, or you can't. Johnny can.
Did your parents make you take piano lessons as a kid? Johnny neither. BUT he loves having the piano as an integral if too often rare part of the music genre.
Johnny remembers his dad's 40th birthday party. It was a surprise and guests and relatives came piling into the house like a Thanksgiving Day parade. One of the guests, while not an aunt in the legal sense, was one of Johnny's 'aunts' in name only. She played the piano harder and better than Johnny had ever seen or heard anyone do in person. He was smitten. You know the part where the pianist swipes their fingers across the 88's and you get that seminal sound from lot to high or high to low? The next morning Johnny looked at the piano and it had red streaks across the keys from her nail polish doing just that. Wanna know who else does that kind of well? Jerry Lee Lewis, closing out the Music Series this week with 'Drinkin' Wine Spo-Dee-O-Dee'.
