Liberace was certainly master and commander of the ivories ~ he is the only pianist I can watch or listen to without suffering a case of ‘Stagefright Sympathy Sickness’.

The pushy showbiz kid thing was always the performance, not the person. I’m very solitary. I don’t like socialising.

In this business (showbiz) it takes time to be really good and by that time, you’re obsolete.
