On the credits for the song “She Doesn’t Live Here Anymore” it is stated that Per plays the “benny piano”. What is that??
The piano of Benny Andersson (from ABBA)??

It means he plays the piano like Benny in that song. Two fast chords after each other.

LOL, I didn’t know there is a piano on that song. I never heard it!

It’s during the chorus, pay attention ;)

I’m sorry that’s all... ben-ben ... there is to it

I’m sorry that’s all... ben-ben ...

PS: “ben ben” is the “benny piano” :D

It means Per played Benny’s piano on that song. Look at the DBUGTTC booklet: the song was recorded in Polar Studios, it very probably that Per used the legendary and original Benny’s piano!

I didn’t realise that ’till today!

So Per played Benny’s piano and played like Benny used to?
