Bruce Hornsby 

American singer, musician, and songwriter from Williamsburg Virginia. Quite possibly the greatest piano player in the history of time, Hornsby and his band 'the Range' had several top 5 hits in the late 80's including "Mandolin Rain", "the Valley Road", and Hornsby's signature song, "the Way It Is". Hornsby made over 100 on stage appearances with the Greatful Dead. He has also played piano on several songs by different artists, including Don Henley's "End of the Innocence".
Man, I would let David Beckham kick me square in the nuts to play the piano like Bruce Hornsby.

You think me an old fogeyand an old tory, his thoughtful voice said. I saw three generations since O’Connel’s time. I remember the famine. Do you know that the orange lodges agitated for repeal of the union twenty years before O’Connel did or before the prelates of your communion denounced him as a demagogue? You fenians forget some things. (James Joyce, Ulysses. Penguin Books,1992. p. 38)
