She always plays that way round - doesn't she? Any reason? For a non-classical keboard player, the right hand is kind of expected to do more intricate work (melodies) while the left handles the slightly clunkier chording. Now we all know that she could play Motzart with her nose, of course, but I just wondered if anyone knew of a spacific reason why Tori prefers doubling up this way round. Maybe because then she's leaning towards the audience whenever doing the (quieter, more intimate) upper keyboard bits?

Good call. And live, if nothing else, she'd be hard pressed to play the piano with her right hand and another keyboard with her left because she'd be facing the back of the stage.

I've been listening to a few live versions of Black-Dove a LOT over the last few months, so.. yeah. heh heh! anyway.. the back-facing-the-audience comment made by Richard makes a LOT of sense to me too.. after all, how d'ya expect to connect with the audience when you're looking at props and lights instead? ;) Sincerely, Cyndi S.
