Piano survey; listeners and players
 

If you are a piano player, what are your favorite songs to play on the piano (or keyboard)? If not, what do you like to listen to on the piano? Do you prefer to listen to piano playing without a lot of embellishments, or do you prefer more florid playing?

What I really want to know is what church songs do people like to play or hear played. Are there not very many piano lovers out there?

Scott, I don't think I ever heard of "Morning Has Broken" or Rick Wakeman. Thank you for posting that.
Also the lady playing How Great Thou Art is fabulous.

Re: Piano survey; listeners and players
 

Rick Wakeman unfortunately is not a Christian artist but he is very talented,his big claim to fame is playing with the Rock band yes,but he is one of those guys that can play about any style he chooses to play.
He is a great classical pianist.

I've been playing the piano for about 13 years now. I'm more into just background music where I carry the harmony. One of my favorite songs to play is "Shout to the Lord."

There's something you may not know. This video was shot after OP had a stroke. He is basically playing one handed with his left just plunking away and not doing much.

Re: Piano survey; listeners and players
 

I was not aware of that,but that dude could play.

IMO, the greatest(technique wise) in the last 50 years and nobody could swing any harder.
