Anyone have a song to show off vst piano?

A friend of mine is a great singer/songwriter and is looking into getting started with recording his music at home.  He said he wanted to record using a Steinwy grand and thought he needed to rent a studio for his next album. 
If you have any songs that really show off piano please post the link.  Also, he is really into country-rock and sings songs from The Band really well.  Any songs in that type of genre would also be great. 
I am turning him on to Soundclick and Soundcloud.  I am also going to post on the hardward forum to see what can be recommended for startup hardware.  He is so into songrwriting that investing into one's own studio could work out well for him.
I don't have alot of keyboard playing ability to really show off what is possible with Sonar.
 
Thanks much.

    I have one or two piano-based songs on my SC site. :) Nothing really country-rock, though, I doubt, but there are a few upbeat ones. The latest would be 'If You Need a Friend.' I use Ivory.

    Thanks much Janet.  I really like your songs.  I am still on the search for some country-rock type songs.  Jackson Brown, Randy Newman, etc. 

    Thanks for your input.

    Check out Terry's site: http://purplerhapsody.co.uk/

    He's a forum member here, plays piano, and while it's on the classical side, it still shows what can be done with a keyboard, a computer and a few synths. 


    With piano, there are so many good sounding synths.

    I agree with Janet, Ivory is one of the good ones. 



    there's another guy form Korea, I can't remember his name here.... plays almost always totally classical solo piano music.  

    Tell your buddy, the water's great... come on in.

    If you have a midi track you like, you can send it to me and I'll render it in Ivory and send it back to you.
