Dave on piano and drums

It would be awesome for Dave to do a solo piano song. Not for the album really, but just to see him do it.

He joked about having his guitar strapped up so high, "up by his nipples" He said that one day he may just play piano and not guitar, but he would first have to figure out how to get a piano up there by his nipples.

the stone was written on piano...
if you play the first two parts, you'll see that they are the same pattern on piano but just in different positions... pretty cool

that does not sound like a mandolin at all. It sounds just like boyd plucking his violin. I have a mandolin, and that riff isn't it.

Did anyone see him live in australia playing one? Because that really doesn't sound like a mandolin at all.

I just now played the riff on the mandolin, and I am positive it's not a mandolin on that song.

So what are you saying ranting, it's not a mandolin?

I don't know, but everyone who went to that listening party a few weeks ago was told that Boyd plays the mandolin on that song

Maybe I am wrong. Hmmmm, any video confirmation? Did Boyd play a mandolin live?
