Tickling the ebony and ivory is a privilege, at least it costs more than any other starter instrument. But there’s always some ruint upright nobody can get rid of.
The Oak Ridge Boys slather their barbershop country all over “Uncle Luther Made The Stuffin.’” All the family members have their chores, including Anna on the pie-anna. Hoe down fun. [Their gospelly “Family Piano” is more sobering.]
Weepy easy listening describes “The Piano” by Liz Callaway. It takes her back, see?
Well, if you prefer cheesy pop, “That One Christmas Song” by Jess LaPradd is vapid beats about singing piano songs. Like, Billy Joel?
AI swings and sways in “Christmas Piano Waltz” provided by Niboyeang, Atsadakorn Kapookkham. Not sure how well pianos waltz, but it’s got… something.
Moody symphonic pop from Ralph McTell dourly relates how “All Things Change” for Renne, the landlady, and big Eddie on the piano for Xmas. And by that we mean they have no future in this existential hole. Holy moldy.
Making the most of it, Crayon Jones wants to gather us ‘round the piano and have a “Merry Christmas Everyone I Mean It.” Slow, gentle Britrock.

More focused on the instrument “Joseph Just Keep On Playing” is the amateurish backroom light pop story from All Together Now. Trust me, it works.
