How good of a piano player was Elliott? I saw a youtube clip of him playing some Rachmaninoff and was really impressed. What were his best instruments besides singing and guitar?

I'm still really sad that he died and listen to his music almost ever day. You really did a great job on those albums.

Might be obvious, but I loved the way you cut out all of the backing music in Son of Sam so it dropped to just the acoustic and Elliott, sounding like one of his earlier albums. Any real trick there? Or was it as simple as it sounded, where you had two tapes going in sync and just let one slowly stop while the one with his vocal and guitar kept going?
