I recently "discovered" Liberace via youtube and found out, what an amazing, brilliant piano player he was! Of course, as being a follover of Jerry, I knew the name very well, as the Killer mentioned him a lot during his concerts as saying:
"let me see, if Liberace could do this" or "I don't think, Liberace can play this..." and so on.
Does anyone knows, why he said this so often?
I mean, Liberace was a studied classical piano player who, in the 50s, was reportedly known as the world's fastest piano player doing 6.000 right notes in two minutes...!!
So what about the apparantly jealously of Jerry about him?
To me, he seemed to be a very nice, friendly person, who could do everything on the piano, being called "Mr. Showmanship". He played everything from Chopin to Beethoven to Samba to Boogie Woogie and everything magnificent!
See him doing DIXIE:

Would be interesting to know, what you think about him.
Rock on,
