David knows how to play the piano, did he start at a very young age?

not positive, but probably
He plays several instruments and piano is an excellent plance to start
I think, though please correct me if I am wrong, that he said in the helix interview that his mother was a concert pianist.
However he got into music and composition, he is definatly brilliant

I'm going to assume so....

piano takes alot of muscle memory and built coordination....so I'm assuming he started at a younger age.....

I told my parents David Downes always plays the piano and keyboard on the tour, right?

Actually, I didn't see him playing at Red Rocks, but the man playing for him did a great job. I think David may have been back in Ireland getting the Christmas concert ready and working on the next tour.

The person playing at Red Rocks was quite the talented guy!  I've learned his name is Feargal.

Thank you, Rich!  I didn't know his last name.  Ya gotta respect a guy who can continue playing when Lisa is trying to distract you!

I know I couldn't do it.  But then, I don't play piano anyway.   :D
