stepay Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 Did all of you already know he played piano and could sing? I had heard him sing a bit before, but I didn't know he also played piano until recently when I saw him awarded posthumously with the Mark Twain Humorist Award. They showed a clip of him playing "Cherry Pie" at the piano and singing while on the Arsenio Hall Show. Not really that difficult, but as with his comedic timing, he did this flawlessly. Just curious if you all already knew this. Steve (Stevie Ray) "Do the chickens have large talons?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stepay Posted November 5, 2009 Author Share Posted November 5, 2009 Thanks for the videos Dave. Did you know he played piano? I mean, obviously he's no Billy Preston, but he's passable. I had no idea he did this. Steve (Stevie Ray) "Do the chickens have large talons?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Benhamou Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 Pretty good feel and timing, considering! I guess yet another reason to love George Carlin.

Legatoboy Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 Da Bronx was alive and well in George.... Long live George! Really the part of the Bronx where he grew up is/was an odd mix of culture, the street and higher learning. I will forever miss him (like many of us)! Thnx Dave and Stepay!

FunkKeysStuff Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 Oh, that "Cherry Pie." Here I was expecting a send-up of the '80s hair metal tune. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
