Nicky Hopkins is playing piano not JPJ

[mariofarecraft2]

@brucekimerer I'm not gonna say that I totally agree with you, but I will make a note of that in the description. I've read numerous sources say that John Paul Jones did the piano (like in the Forty Licks booklet) and in some, I've heard Nicky Hopkins did the piano. But I've heard a lot more people say that JPJ did the piano, so I'm leaving it how it is. However, I will make a note. Thanks for the comment.

@mariofarecraft2 I say that based on the Hopkins biography "...and on piano, Nicky Hopkins" by Julian Dawson: " Nicky's most memorable moment is on side two's opener 'She's a Rainbow,' where his distinctive neo-classical piano intros and beautiful soloing over John Paul Jones' string arrangements make for one of the album's few genuine highlights."

@isaacbateman76 I'm sure even John Lennon himself made some mistakes here and there.

I've always loved the baroque styled piano part & the loosely strung guitar strumming. Add that with the girlish backing vocal and the lush orchestration you'd think if you saw that all on paper it sound a mess, but it's actually VERY original & very well put together.
