Ben Folds... he's fucking amazing | |
| - E-mail - orgNote - Report post to moderator |
Bruce Hornsby and Ben Folds both blow my mind. Bruce for his technique and skill, and Ben for just beating the crap out of it and making it truly a rock instrument. Both of these guys are so harmonically inventive on piano, I've never heard anyone else in popular music come close. | |
