Little known fact, today is the birthday of Liberace – American pianist, singer, and actor. According to Wikipedia, Liberace was a child prodigy and the son of working-class immigrants from Italy and Poland.
Liberace enjoyed a career spanning four decades of concerts, recordings, television, motion pictures, and endorsements.
At the height of his fame, from the 1950s to the 1970s, Liberace was the highest-paid entertainer in the world, with established residencies in Las Vegas, and an international touring schedule.
Liberace embraced a lifestyle of flamboyant excess both on and off stage, acquiring the sobriquet “Mr. Showmanship”.
I’ve read that 25% of people in the world play piano. That’s a lot of people! The piano is said to be the most versatile of all instruments because it is played in almost every genre of music and can be accompanied or played solo. If you’re a music lover or have musicians in your home, do you also have music related art on your walls? If not, isn’t it time you did? Wink, wink!
