IAN FINN 809 Posted March 6 Report Share Posted March 6 Was Russ Conway the pianist with some missing fingers? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
philmayfield 6,145 Posted March 6 Report Share Posted March 6 Just the tip of one finger on his right hand in a ‘bread slicing’ accident. The third finger on my left hand is the same length as my fourth finger due to a horticultural accident and has ruined all my chances of being a concert pianist. I did buy an electric keyboard during lockdown. My wife thought I’d mastered it but I had to confess it was in ‘demonstration mode’. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mary1947 2,084 Posted March 7 Report Share Posted March 7 My brother had piano lesson from being 7 and now at 84 he still writes his own music and still plays all classical. I was also given the chance to learn to play, after 2 terms i left, but I can play 3 blind mice and diddle om pom pom. Always wanted to play the violin but the chance came too late, Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Oztalgian 3,298 Posted March 7 Report Share Posted March 7 20 hours ago, Brew said: I've never heard of anyone before who did like his clarinet concerto The Allegro is a tad boring, the adagio is a lovely part but by far the worst is the Rondo. Overall, not a patch on Acker Bilk's Stranger on the Shore. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
denshaw 2,872 Posted March 7 Report Share Posted March 7 I saw on the local news that the Concert pianist at the Theatre Royal is also a local tram driver. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
