LOVE keyboards. Took piano lessons for five years while in grade school. Hated it. Can’t tell you how often I, as an adult, wish I would have kept playing. One of my life regrets.

Just, WoW. Thanks for sharing this. Apart from the piano fly the song is also great.

The landing seemed too perfect.

After watching video 1 (meh) and video 2 (wonderful!), YT suggested a clip of a very young Frank Zappa (normal haircut and no facial hair) teaching Steve Allen to play the bicycle. For any Zappa fans, this is a Must Watch.

I met Keith shortly before his death. He was a nice guy.

Balsa wood box with an electric keyboard.
I have a grand piano in my shop and the manufacturer says it weighs 1216 lbs.
I would NOT roll out on 6″ wheels in the dirt.

Thanks Uncle Al for the Frank Zappa video with Steve Allen. Frank Zappa was a genius with his bizarre and strange music. He was the next generation of Spike Jones on musical steroids. And I still think that Steve Allen was one of the best and most intelligent of all the late-night TV show hosts ever.

WOW, I don’t know how they did that,
Hell, I couldn’t carry a tune if it was in a bucket.

For some 25 years touring on the road, during that era, playing piano/keyboards and (later) synthesizers with many different bands and music all over the United States of America and the hundreds and thousands of loving Americans and fans, whom I met and remember to this day…when I look back at it now…it was all a very Beautiful Dream, each and every time, which included Frank Zappa and many, many others, who were equally loved and appreciated.
