You can always tell an acoustic piano on a recording because it sounds a bit out of tune, compared to the digital pianos. This is a 1960’s Steinway in the piano studio at Macon State. It has a very heavy action which I like playing when improvising. This began life as an improv - me just wailing away at the piano.
The original name was “Black key Happiness” - I was tired of playing in sharp keys over at the church, and needed some flat key goodness!
It’s a musician thing. It’s probably not contagious.
