An ode to the piano and keyboard players I admire

Today after work I blew bubbles in the rain, watched a wedding between two of my favorite cows (yep, you read that correctly -- courtesy of The Gentle Barn Tennessee), and while watching a video of Tony Banks play keyboards, came up with what I thought was a brilliant idea of doing the keyboard version of those singers who do impressions of various other singers (as the super-talented Christina Bianco does so well) and immediately came up with keyboard-playing imitations of

Tony Banks,

Taylor Swift,

Tori Amos,

Dennis DeYoung,

Rick Wakeman,

Christina Perri,

and my personal favorite, Lawrence Gowan

and announced to my fiancé that I was brilliant for thinking of this and would now become rich with my idea, becoming the Josh Robert Thompson and Christina Bianco of keyboards... but then he pointed out this would only be of interest to 55-year-old piano nerds who are into not only prog rock but also female singer-songwriters and post-country Taylor Swift.

So I guess it's not such a brilliant idea after all.

Oh, were you waiting for some witty point or for this blog post to go somewhere?  Nope, that was it.  It's been a long week. That's all I got.  But if you haven't clicked the Christina Bianco link yet, CLICK IT!
