My cousin was a stagehand at NYCs Latin Quarter in the later 1960s. Liberace was performing and the cousin was able to meet him, my cousin told Liberace how much his mother liked him. The next night Liberace brought in a framed autographed photo of himself and told my cousin to give it to his mother. The fact that Liberace remembered and went to the trouble to bring in the gift speaks volumes about the kindness and thoughtfulness of this man who is still without comparison in talent and consideration.

You've obviously never heard of Van Cliburn, Yuga Wang, Valentina Lisitsa, Vladimir Horowitz, Olga Kern, Glenn Gould, Artur Rubenstein, and many other top flight pianists. To say Liberace was one of the most talented pianists is like calling McDonald's one of the best restaurants in the world. Totally laughable. But I'm sure he played a mean skin flute.

He played old saws and Warner Brothers cartoon level of classical music. He never went to classical music and polished hisncraft against discriminating critics. He played familiar tunes so blue haired old women coukd hum along. Go co.pare his Tchaikovsky Piano Concerto Number 1 (a famous old saw know by everyone) to the gold standard, Van Cliburn. Or by Volodos. Or by Yuja Wang. Or by Olga Kern. Play them side by side and tell me if you can't discern sutble complexities from real masters Liberace couldn't reach. Go and find Liberace playing Rachmaniniff Piano Conerto No. 2 if you can? I don't think he ever tried. Or Rachmaninoff 3rd Paino Concerto, 1st Movement, Ossia Cadenza. And compare that to those who had spent their lives mastering every note of those very famous concertos.

My mom also was of that caliber and she LOVED this song. It was her favorite. We lost her last year. I just had to hear it again. She could play by ear. I suspect she had perfect pitch. Any song named and she nailed it. I miss her pounding out that song.

I'm an old school music lover. Liberace's music and Sammy Davis Jrs talent were envied and admired. I was born a generation prior to my peers in music appreciation. I can listen to this music all day long, including Borge's tapping on the ivory keys.
