Thoughts on Ringo's instrumental ability
With all the talk in the other thread about Ringo's various guitarists, I got to wondering: where does Ringo herself stand? Not just in terms of guitar, but with any of the various instruments she's played over her career. I'm curious about what those in the know think.
Just to get it started, here are a few thoughts from my extremely unsophisticated perspective. Please educate me!

She was raised to play classical piano. I can't remember where I read it, but supposedly her father allowed her to play one hour MAX per day (I guess it got annoying after a while?). I think her best piano performances were at the 1999 Rising Sun Rock festival, particularly her rendition of "Akane Sasu, Kiro Terasaredo...". There is also footage of her from the TJ Phase 1 years where she can be seen playing a piano solo - if I remember correctly, it was either Chopin's op. 34 #2 (which was the basis for "Komori Uta"), or Bizet's theme that was used for "Chiisana Kinomi". I think it may be on Dynamite In.
