What made Jerry Lee Lewis great, his ability to play piano? No, there are many piano players who would make his skills sound like a beginner. He was new, nobody ever did what he did with so much freedom. He was playing what was inside of him, and he used the piano to do it.

How much talent does it take to play the piano with his feet? No, he had freedom, he did not care what anybody thought, he was going to do his thing. Oh, how I love it.

PS, Jerry Lee Lewis is a cousin of Pastor Jimmy Swaggart, who also played piano, and was also a bit of a rebel. (Did his own thing)

My friend Don M. is very popular on this forum, many look up to him. Although he plays and sings well, I don’t feel it is the main reason for his popularity.
