What says everyone else? Is it true that Jim taught himself to play? If he did I am amazed. Classic Albums BOOH opens with Jim playing piano and it is like a mixture of rock style and classical style. In my humble opinion, it is fantastic. The passion, the skill. Is it necessary to judge him by his playing of other people's songs? Has he done much of that? I'm not sure how his playing is these days but thank goodness his skill as a pianist has been recorded and preserved forever. | |
