Tori Amos interview in Keyboardist (sp?)

[pages!bigdog!jon@uunet.UU.NET (Jon Wright)]

Noticed while browsing a newstand that a snooty keyboard magazine geared  
towards classicist's that Tori was interviewed on her life and transition from  
classical training to pop stardom.  I think the name is either Composer or  
Keyboardist or Classical Piano or something, sorry I didn't remember it's  
title.  It is this month's issue.

Interesting note:  She described one of her favorite pianos and how she went to  
the factory where it was hand-made.  She said that the men who carved the  
instrument were so into their craft that they had pictures of nude women  
displayed everywhere so that their handiwork would reflect the curves and  
sensuousness of a woman.  Tori remarked that every piano was imbued with the  
thoughts and emotions of the person working on it at the time -- some had to be  
hit harder and others stroked to deliver the "right" sounds.

Interesting reading, at least this part.
