Great song to, Jaycee! I first couldn’t figure out why his hair was flip flopping up and down. He almost gave me a headache! LOL! And then playing the piano while standing up! WOW!!
He was a very popular rock and roll star and stayed so for many years. That hair and kicking over his piano stool were just some of his trademarks. We liked Jerry Lee but weren’t huge fans, but hubby and I and another couple went to see him in concert, either in the late 60’s or early 70’s.
When we saw him live he broke the piano stool and got on the piano and banged the keys with his feet. Just show business! Its strange, my brother said he saw him on someone’s show just recently (may have been the View) and my brother said he didn’t seem to be in a clear mind (getting old and senile) but he said when he played that piano, he played it just like he used to.
When you all kept talking about all that shakin’, naturally I thought of “Whole Lota Shakin’ Going on”. Another tidbit, Jerry Lee is a first cousin to Jimmy Swaggert (the preacher)....LOL! Swaggert plays a mean piano too. Swaggart also played around some too....LOL)
