SoLost: William Eggleston Plays the Piano

Eggleston is also a supremely talented pianist. This we know because SoLost was invited by the makers of "Nothing Can Stop Me: The Big Star Story," a film about legendary cult rockers Big Star (whom Eggleston knew and documented over the years) to tag along for an afternoon with Eggleston at his sister's home in Memphis. He was planning to play the piano.
