Keith Emerson, of Emerson, Lake and PalmerClassic Prog Rock! My tribute to great keyboard man Keith, brilliant composer and performer. Emerson Lake and Palmer were known for their amazing stage effects, from fire and knives to a cannon and a levitating piano. He was also the first person to use a Moog synthesizer on a rock concert stage.
video of him playing the flying piano:

I don't think I've ever seen anyone play a piano while it's flipping in the air...come to think of it, I've never seen a piano that could fly, either.tech details: 18x24" oil on canvas

I read his autobiography a couple of years ago...Pictures of an Exhibitionist...Keith is a kind of crazy-mad-daredevil. He injured his right hand badly and needed an operation or two on it (almost ended his career) so the "bionic" hand seemed fitting! He's kind of wired right into the Machine. Chest hairs are always a pain, they take a delicate touch (I water down my paint and use my thinnest brush) but they needed to be there. The jacket was hard (the black parts in the photo blended right into the background black, so I had to guess where the outline was).
The piano video was nuts.
Oh, and I've always loved that flying piano video.
