He's played for presidents at the White House, but you can catch him most nights for free at the Bellagio. Pianist David Osborne talks about his years tickling the ivories for celebrities and politicians alike, getting past Secret Service, what Dick Cheney whispered to him, and why former President Jimmy Carter wants him to play at his funeral. We sit down with David as he plays his Steinway at home.  Originally aired February 7, 2011.
