Piano Lessons
I remember piano lessons
The hours in freezing rooms
Cruel ears and tiny hands
Destroying timeless tunes
She said there's too much out there
Too much already said
You'd better give up hoping
You're better off in bed
You don't need much to speak of
No class, no wit, no soul
Forget your own agenda
Get ready to be sold
I feel now like Christine Keeler
Sleepwaking in the rain
I didn't mean to lose direction
I didn't want that kind of fame
(Take your hands off my land)
Credit me with some intelligence
(if not just credit me)
I come in value packs of ten
(in five varieties)
And even though I got it all now
My only stupid dream
I see you and me together
And how it should have been
I remember piano lessons
Now everything seems clear
You waiting under streetlights
For dreams to disappear

It so happens Thelonious Monk composed a piece called "Evidence" and by the time he was finished his piano might've looked like this one. You can hear his 1963 performance in Japan and see how he takes off midway through after Charlie Rouse cranks on his sax. The opening titles take 48 seconds so be patient ~~ and turn up the volume. If you want to watch his finger work, check Don't Blame Me, and for 10 minutes of classic Monk here's Blue Monk. As far as I know he never took a piano lesson in his life.
