Now it's time for another musical interlude. This time, it's Yours Truly performing I Love A Piano by the great Irving Berlin. This song was written in 1915, so 100 years ago, but it is still very popular and well covered. And I've heard it performed a lot of different ways- from fast and hip by Tony Bennett to slow and sultry by Liza Minnelli. But, my favorite is Tony Desare who takes it to the limit. He plays and sings it so well, he is frequently asked to perform it for big events, including televised ones.
But, this is my humble rendition, and I feel that I am entitled to play it for the simple reason that: I love a piano. And I have no doubt that 100 years from now, piano lovers will still be playing this song.
