Nick Nicholas - Honky Tonk Piano Party

When your piano goes out of tune you have the option of asking a piano tuner to fix it, but this can cost a bit much if you're not selling many records. Surely it's better just to call it a 'honky tonk' piano and be done with it.

Nick Nicholas chose the second option and caused a sensation with his 'Honky Tonk Piano Party'. Even now, sellers on Discogs are asking a whopping 37p for this fine album which roughly equals the price of a Mars Bar. If you get it as part of a multipack.

He plinks and plonks his way through many standards which were popular in the early 1970s including the classic and much covered 'Winchester Cathedral', Cliff Richard's 'Congratulations' and a particularly jaunty version of 'Puppet on a String'.

So if you're looking for something to help you work, rest and play, then you could do worse than just getting that multipack of Mars Bars.
