WB as a keyboardist
I rewatched a clip recently of China Crisis recounting their time working with WB, and there was a bit about Walter "blowing them away" with a keyboard part he wrote. By their (cheeky) telling, his playing was on par with Liszt's.
Which got me thinking: How was Walter as a keyboard player? Obviously the keyboard was an important part of his compositional process post 1980s, and we've heard sequenced parts he's put down, but that's probably about as much as there is out there. Did he have a piano in the house? Take the playing seriously?
Can anyone––@Moderator: D-Mod?––offer their observations?

What Matt said!
Thanks, Matt, for saving me all that typing. Walter was casually good enough on the piano to spark jealousy in those who didn't have his degree of head-to-hand linkage (which refers largely to the ability to play by ear). Preferred style? Bluesy, of course.
