Piano Covers and the Rockers Behind Them

by Chuck R Stewart

A piano cover is a necessity for any person that loves their piano. It is needed as an extra layer of protection in the home. A lot of pianos are not protected from unnecessary damage. A non protected piano will easily look worn quicker than a piano that is properly protected by a piano cover. A piano cover will help protect the piano from unwanted damage. It will protect it from moisture, dust, and careless human contact. A piano cover is a very smart investment. A piano cover will extend the life piano, giving the user peace of mind.

Everyone needs a piano cover. Even Hollywood stars that play the piano for a living should protect their investment. Piano covers do a fantastic job protecting the star’s piano and will do the same for you. Think about it to yourself, what you would choose if you were a big musical star. Create your own. See if you can make a better piano cover that the rich and famous.

Billy Joel is my all time favorite artist. He has had big hits for over three decades. He has been entertaining audiences for years. He is best known for his first hit Piano Man|His first successful hit was the song “Piano Man”. It has become known as his signature song. Billy Joel’s piano cover was designed from his lyrics in the song. I have been told that it was a gift from his former wife Christie. Around his name it has a lot of the characters from the song, John the bartender, the waitress that served him the drinks, and bar patrons Paul and Davy. Billy has said that it is quite a conversation piece.

Other rockers have visited him and wanted to get their own conversation piece. Stones front man Mick Jagger has the tongue and lips design that was created by an artist that first appeared on their 1971 album, Sticky Fingers. It is one of the best rock logos that was ever created.

I was touched by former Beatle Sir Paul McCartney piano covers. Paul has several pianos covered by piano covers by his late first wife Linda. She was an artist by trade and designed almost all of the piano covers. Most of them were taken from ideas from different places that they travel to when they were together. Paul loved his first wife and they would bring him a lot of joy as they reminded him of her.

Other musicians have had interesting piano covers too. Liberace had one of the most expensive. Liberace had a flare for the dramatic. His had a lot of sparkles and rhinestones that covered the entire grand piano. Elton John would write on his with a sharpie marker whenever he had a song idea. He would later go back and add music later to his idea. One of the best ones I ever saw was by the singer Pink. It was a very simple design without a lot of flare. It was easy to imagine what color she would have. It was bright pink!
