Kim Kinross's act is a good example of the ruination of piano bars, with singalongs, all over the world -- including on cruise ships using massacred rock songs that have become anthems or even hymns in the worldwide church of rock. With the obligatory hand signs and motions, ALL pianos everywhere without exception are now manned by these "rock n roll" "piano entertainers" who sing very badly, who play many songs too fast and who have perennial audiences that want to shout and yell no matter what. About ten years ago, I thought that only "a lot" of piano bars were being run this way now-- but since then I've come to understand that ALL piano bars now run this way, most without food-- which is a problem. The duelling rock piano acts that have taken over corporate events and weddings are now single acts-- that use the same techniques and songs. All individuality has been erased. All piano acts that have individuality are now classed as ticketed events with $60 tickets, for example, at MIM.
