Never Go Full Hornsby

Check it out.  Mark Cohn, "Walkin' in Memphis."  Look like Hornsby.  Play like Hornsby.  Not Hornsby.  You know Ben Folds?  "Brick"?  Appalachian?  Sho'.  Hornsby?  No way.  Stevie Wonder?  Play the hell out of a keyboard.  Charm the pants off Obama.  Not Hornsby.  Never go full Hornsby.  You don't buy that?  Ask Vanessa Carlton, 2002.  "A Thousand Miles."  Remember?  Went full Hornsby.  Went home empty-handed.
