His playing brings so many questions to mind. Like: . . . . . How in the Sam Hill can anybody play that fast? . . . . And, what right do I have to even think about spending the money on a grand when there are people in the world who can really play? . . . . . And, how in the Sam Hill can anybody play that fast? Nice, George. Thanks.

![]() To answer PattyP's questions: 1. One can play that fast by (a) having a favorable genetic makeup for such an activity, (b) getting the right sort of instructions at a young age, before it's too late, (c) lots of practice, lots of sacrifice in other aspects of life. 2. You have the right to spend the money on a grand because it's your money. It's long known that "money" and "type of piano owned" has little to no correlation to "piano playing proficiency." If it's any comfort, you can argue that "it's precisely because I don't play that well, that I need that much more help from a really, really nice piano."

Everyone near my age remembers "Bumble Boogie." There was a version back in the 60s that was done by a group called "B Bumble and the Stingers". http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/B._Bumble_and_the_Stingers
Here is their original (and much slower) version: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zvGNBTosRAs Then, about 5 years ago, my friend the general surgeon turned me on to a guy named Rob Rio: http://www.robrio.com/ You can hear a brief sample of his version here: http://www.amazon.com/Bumble-Boogie/dp/B0014CZU3U/ref=sr_1_22?ie=UTF8&qid=1290002525&sr=8-22 We listen to him frequently when doing colon resections : It makes things go faster.My favorite Rob Rio song is "Chiropractor Blues." "You know I wanna be your chiropractor baby, You know I wanna jump on your bones. I said, I wanna be your chiropractor darlin, I wanna jump on your bones. Yeah, I wanna rearrange your vertebrae And crack all your erogenous zones. You came to me this morning, Said you had a pain Started way down in your lower back, And went up all the way to your brain..." |
