Jerry Lee Lewis (b. 29 September 1935) is an American singer, songwriter, and pianist.
Two Ways of Saying the Same Thing
Lewis was an incendiary showman who often played with his fists, elbows, feet, and backside, sometimes climbing on top of the piano during gigs. Like Chuck Berry's guitar playing, Lewis's piano style has become synonymous with rock and roll, having influenced generations of piano players. – adapted from Wikipedia
JLL Explains
As part of his signature branding
He pummeled the piano while standing.
“I could practice my scales,
And invest in some tails,
But it’s not what my fans are demanding!”

JLL Triumphans
In his rollicking rock-n-roll act,
Young Jerry Lee Lewis attacked
The piano in ways
That created a craze, —
There’s no doubt of the punch that he packed.
