Piano Pickers



Dear James,

A splodge of good taste for you from staunch heterosexualist and Mr. Showmanship himself, Wladziu Valentino Liberace. I have so many keyboards in my flat, it's starting to look a little like old Wlad's place. I had a bubble bath the other day as well. Very relaxing. I'll let you know when I start parking a Rolls in the kitchen.

Having previously been portrayed by Bugs Buggy, Liberace will be played by Michael Douglas in a 2010 film directed by Steven Soderbergh. No, really.

As a child, Liberace suffered "from the taunts of neighborhood children who mocked his avoidance of sports and his fondness for the piano". A bit like Richard Carpenter, then. (Embedding disabled, but don't miss the video).
