Boys For Pele has actually got me playing again after a 20-year haitus. Now I'm hungry to play -- I just have to find a piano whose price is right that fits into my apartment. But it's gonna happen, dammit. biggrin

Tori's version of "Thank You" from the Crucify EP is great.

It sounds like she's playing Mozart and having an orgasm at the same time.

Really great playing.

Also, check out Mike Keneally. He can play awesome guitar and piano. Check out his version of Steve Vai's "Junkie" on His CD where he does all Vai tunes.

I don't mean that in a bad way.

At the end she goes up with her voice and the song has this great emotional lift.

All this while she's playing this great stuff on piano.

No, I know what you mean. That's a perfect description of Tori.
