Of course Billy now has lost a portion of his hearing in his right ear from listening to a Barcus Berry pickup, with all high end. This enabled the piano to "cut" through the onstage sound...

It had to be the brightest souding piano I've ever heard. Rocks for hammers, his choice. Amazing what the ssound guy's can do. Billy's comment, I can still hear the piano with all the sound equipment going.
