John Clancy
I play around with piano, among other things. But this page will be dedicated to just piano. I would like to release a CD of just my improvisations on original themes someday; once in awhile they do come out ok, honest.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
Started fooling around with drums at 13 or 14, tried bass guitar for a little bit, acoustic guitar some, started playing keys right after high school. I like keys the best.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
I would like to, but my piano is a bit heavy.
Your musical influences
Classical, classic/progressive rock, starting to appreciate a little jazz finally. Like, if Rick Wakeman never practiced or did finger exercises, and never had time for a second take (like he ever needs one).
What equipment do you use?
1984 (?) Hamburg Steinway Model A Concert Grand (pictured).
Anything else?
Well, in the studio I have the usual, Hammonds (C3 & RT3), Kurzweils, Korgs & Moog. More guitars & drums & stuff.
