Sung by Richard, "Piano Picker" is almost autobiographical of Richard's love for the keyboards. Interestingly, though, he did not write the song. It was written by Randy Edelman who also wrote the songs "I Can't Make Music" and "You".

Corny song but I always liked it. Probably cause it's the perfect song for Richard to sing and I'm sure he was playing the piano rather than football, etc.

Oddly enough I do like this song quite a bit. I gave it an "It's Okay". Eventhough I like the song I still feel it's the weakest song on the "A Song For You" album.

I like this song its one of Richards best lead vocals as far as I am concerned. I do not feel this is the weakest song off A Song For You there are one or two weaker ones besides this one. This is an example of inserting Richards vocal so you are not overwhelmed with Karens phenomenal and emotion packed voice it gives you a rest an allows you to catch your breath so to speak while you gear up for one heck of a finish to this great record.

I chose LEAVE IT. Never liked it. I think that is the reason I never liked the A SONG FOR YOU album with that song PIANO PICKER, and FLAT BAROQUE on it....two both weak songs with RC on it. Now, if the A SONG FOR YOU album had 2 other leads with Karen on it, this possibly could have been one of my faves on it...

Amen Enigma! There is no dought that you love this side of the album as much as I do. What a line up! Jim It is a cute song and the lyrics speak volumes when it came to the talent that became the backbone of are favorite duo THE CARPENTERS!!!! Practice makes perfect. Jim

:)I say an ok song overall, even though Richard really shows his excellent piano skills ...and it surely could have been written by him since it has been his life's work and destiny. I like the accapella (sp?) harmony part "do oooo....oo".

I have always liked this song, but it was never a love it, for me. Those belong to the great melodies, music, arrangements, and Karen's voice!

A cute song by richard. I do enjoy karen and richards background vocals on this track. I do think richard plays the hell out of it. Love the key boards but gave it an ok.

I like the interjection of humor in "Piano Picker," just like "Intermission." However, I have not been strongly drawn to the classical music-influenced tunes that reflect R's original formal training at Yale. "Piano Picker" is just "OK" with me.

i agree, Richard is a bit stiff on TVs and during their concerts unlike his sister....but, remember Space encounter was done in 1977 when Rich was in the height of his drug dependency....

I really love piano picker, it a happy, look to your dreams kinda song like given us hope in our own dreams, sometimes it takes time but you keep going on anyway I'm glad some people have those dreams and at the end it pays off. its nice for me to see that someone has made it come true. to know that someone can live and do this always brings me joy :-/and a big smile on my face
