Are there female persons associated with the piano who aren't regarded as "ladies"?

piano songs by piano men are way worse (cf. five for fighting, the fray)

I couldn't remember the name of that song (A Thousand Miles) or who it was by, but I started hearing the tune in my head as soon as I read the words “That piano song by the piano lady” before even clicking through to the thread, which is a kind of tribute to Vanessa Carlton more than 20 years on I guess.

see now if this was "That piano song by the piano guy" I would know exactly what it was, but I'm lost here

the song that this brings to mind is even older though, immediatley thought of The Way It Is by Bruce Hornsby

taxonomy of piano ladies, piano guys, piano men etc

if you search 'piano dude' on google you get a lot of videos of guys playing stuff on those public pianos they sometimes have in stations or shopping centres or whatever.

I Ain't No Piano Lady would be a good name for an album by a female honky-tonk pianist

That album cover practically screams "ragtime."

That's no piano lady, that's my piano wife

It made me think of 'Promise Me' by Beverley Craven. I might be misremembering/exaggerating but now all I can hear is the massive intakes of breath she does right through the song.

"piano man" is nuclear-grade garbage

^^one of my most hated songs of all time

Worst piano song is "The Ship Song" by Nick Cave though.
