Homeskoolin’ Bonus “Lead A Normal Life�

Chapters
00:00 - 1970's Yamaha CP-70B amazing playing


Notes
I have had a strange affinity for the legendary Yamaha CP-70B electric grand for my whole adult life….i have probably owned 10 or so different ones over the years, but this one is special because it belonged to my dear old friend Rick Reith who sadly moved on in January.

Fond memories of him and i carrying this beast into my newly purchased scantly furnished bachelor pad in the biting cold of winter.

Brent Arledge came over and tuned it for me yesterday…he literally is the ONLY guy who tunes every piano in every studio in nashville…we often talk about the pressure of it all, can you imagine tuning a piano for a guy like Gordon Mote?

there have been many great moments in rock history for the CP70....but here is the BEST moment https://youtu.be/-GgEu0Sbiv8
