  • They gave him a CASIO?!

  • Nicky - true piano / keyboard virtuoso !!!

  • @regaltip8A jeff beck definitely comes off looking terrible in that book. amazing that of all the people dawson tried to talk to about nicky, beck is the only one who declined. i liked what nicky said about him - "he was a bit schitzo. one half of him wanted to be a garage mechanic and the other half wanted to be a musician."

  • The man was amazing, and a huge loss for the music world. My most favorite keyboard player of all time, and this is saying a lot seeing who was out there at the time. He had a very unique sound, that once you heard him, you never forgot.

  • @regaltip8A Thanks for the info on the book, had heard about it......no details. Will be on the lookout!

  • So nice to see this interview.......like a few other commentors I had the pleasure of meeting him in the Fall of 83 in LA. I'm not a musician, it came about as a result of my work. He was such a nice & humble person (it was only after our meeting that I really found out how prolific & GREAT a pianist he was). Amazing is the only term that comes to mind, the sheer volume of work & the people that he worked with. Would LOVE to have that chance again, knowing now what I didn't know then. RIP Nicky.

  • Great interview. Am currently reading Nicky's biography - "and on piano........nicky hopkins" by Julian Dawson. Great read and stories. Interesting to read his experience with Jeff Beck. Beck does not come out looking too good.

  • Awesome interview. Thanks for posting this!

  • Nicky fue genial!!

  • Wow, Nicky is cool.
