Well It's Because The Record Companies Are

Baldwin Is Sort Of Getting To Be A Bit Funny. I Don't Know What Happened, But A Few Years Ago They Suddenly Went Bankrupt And Gibson Bought The Whole Outfit. Since Then They Haven't Seemed To Be Doing An Awfully Good Job Of Providing Pianos.

I Love To Play In The Different Keys Like B Or F Sharp, Or Keys That Most People Don't Play In, Because They Have A Better Resonance Or Something. I'm Really Not Fond Of F And C. I Just Stay Away From Those If I Can.

One Should Leave The Piano When Oscar Comes In. This Man Is Dangerous.

I Have A West Coast Rhythm Section And A New York Rhythm Section. I've Got Them Spread Out All Over The Place.

Duke Ellington Is My Choice For Many Reasons. Nobody Has Written So Many Great Pieces Of Music, Which Are Everlasting, And He Has Made Them Available To The World Through His Orchestrations Of His Work In A Unique Way. Lastly, He Was Himself A Fine Pianist. He Covers The Entire Musical Spectrum With His Genius.
