I’m a pedal steel guitarist. When people ask me who is my favorite musician, they’re surprised that’s it’s a piano player from the Forties! When I was a little kid in a playpen, I would scream for “Usmic! Usmic!” The only way my Mom could shut me up was to put a stack of Boogie Woogie 78s on the record player. I have quite a collection.
When I was about 12, I got my parents to sign me up for piano lessons. This old granny came over and started teaching me how to play Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star. I looked at her and realized she was clueless about what I longed to learn. I just knew that Albert and Pete didn’t staret out with Twiunkle Twinkle! Only took that one lesson.
