Christine even said in an interview (Keyboard mag I think) that while Stevie wasn't a "great" piano player, Chris felt she should play something onstage just for the credibility of it.

Of course this never happened.

Stevie has zero discipline or focus to play an instrument well more than once.

Rick Beato just posted an interview with Billy Joel and listening to him talk about piano playing, songwriting, etc. made me think of her ping-ping-ping demos. While I actually love them, still.... cringeworthy when in the company of actual musicians. That said, she's the multi-millionaire, not me so........
