Jerry Lee Lewis took piano playing to a whole new level. The notes he plays are fantastic, PLUS he added a lot to the audience experience with his theatrics, looking not nearly as silly as others who have imitated him since on piano or other instruments. It's all in the name of entertainment. I draw the line at smashing instruments (unless just stage props or of certain expendable brands / models, LOL). And it should work for any style of music, you just have to figure out what fits. I would love to see a whole orchestra going at it while all playing impeccably.

Anyway, I was never any good at theatrics on piano, and now even less so on clarinet. I look at my Youtube videos and say to myself, come on- show some enthusiasm. But it's probably a lost cause. And it's so easy to go too far and feel and look foolish. As I'm sure Lloyd Bentsen would tell me... "I knew Jerry Lee Lewis. Jerry Lee Lewis was a friend of mine. You're no Jerry Lee Lewis."
