Despite his incredible showmanship and staging the inescapable fact is that he was also a truly powerful and gifted pianist...it was not just all hype...HE COULD REALLY PLAY
I got to meet Liberace in 1982 at the Country Club he was a member of in Palm Springs, I was there to do repair work on the Club's photo copier. I got a personalized autograph, that I still have and is one of my prize possessions. I was never really a fan of piano music, but as a human being Lee Liberace was a decent, kind and amazing man.
