Jerry Lee Lewis&#8217; piano in his home - Mississippi © Jim Herrington Jerry Lee Lewis grew up dirt poor in Ferriday, Louisiana and had to play on the neighbor&#8217;s piano until his parents finally took out a mortgage on their farm to buy this Starck upright when he was 10 years old. This is the piano Jerry Lee learned on and on which he developed his style up until the time he walked into Sun Records in Memphis. His cousins Mickey Gilley and Jimmy Swaggart also learned on this piano.
