This version of "Stairway to Heaven" by Led Zeppelin is part of my series, "Guitar Songs That Sound Awesome on Piano." Obviously this is one of the most classic guitar songs of all time but I've always thought it sounds great on the piano too. Hope you like it!

"Jessie" by Joshua Kadison is a beautiful ballad from the 90s. I was so happy when I heard it because there weren't a lot of big piano songs during that time. Here's a little piece of my version. Hope you like it!

"Drops of Jupiter" by Train hit me right between the eyes when I heard it on the radio. It was the first time I heard the piano featured in one of their songs. I used to play the song in the piano bar years ago and the crowd always loved it. What a cool song. Here's the intro!
