"Dennis Wilson. This brilliant pianist started on the road to his career when most young boys are only interested in "cowboys & indians".
He began playing the piano at the age of eight & gained his first professional experience in organising the school band... If the results of his organization then were anything like those he produces now it must have been some band!" - sleeve notes to 12851254
