Bio / Background
In the fourth grade, Bill Grady was forced to take piano lessons from an elderly lady in his neighborhood who had bad breath. While teaching him the basics of how to read notes off the page, she loudly chewed on a variety of smelly sandwiches, and when each lesson was mastered to her satisfaction she would retire the exercise with an adhesive gold star. Bill practiced these pieces just enough to jump through each hoop presented to him, and quickly grew bored. He pleaded with his parents to allow him to quit. It was decided he would be excused from taking lessons provided he played the instrument for 30 minutes a day. Around this time, a distant relative gifted him Billy Joel’s “LIVE In Russia,” and Grady immediately learned the opening ‘Prelude’ by ear. As the album was on cassette, and the batteries in the player brand new, the tape played fast, the pitch was raised, and he wound up learning the song in the wrong key.
