Your piano playing outdoes many of those pianola rolls that were played in those old parlors and such. It's not complete without rootbeer. Excellently done.
Usually I can compare recitals of the Entertainer to nothing short of travestys, however, this is amazing, you play it with such energy and originality.
WOW Allen, You are awesome!!!! I am enjoyin ghte heck out of all your music. I did a playlist of all of your stuff I could find on here. How about I'm Looking Over A Four-leaf Clover? For me, I delight in ragtime!!! And you have it down pat. Thanks for doing all this on youtube!!! Lynette
I was just browsing when I happened to find your version of wasted days and wasted nights by freddie fender and I became an instant fan. I am not gifted like you but I sure have an ear for good music. Continue the good work!!
Sure enough. I did a search on your channel, and couldn't find it there, so I figured you may not have already had it (I mean, almost 600 videos is quite a lot to look through!), but after just searching your name and The Entertainer, here I am. I think I speak for all of your fans when I say we appreciate you taking the time to record all of these songs, as I'd imagine it must take you quite a while to make almost 600 videos.
I knew how to play The Entertainer years ago, but your version is unreal. Your right hand improvisations are stunning. They should have had you in the movie. You have great feel and great idea's on the improvisations. A great style. Not many people can play Ragtime, and your one of the best. Thanks for posting.
Thank you Allen Dale for making me smile today! I love, no wait, LOVE your Johnny Cash covers! I never like people covering him, but you and your piano bring a certain cheer to the Man in Black, hard to do! Absolutely marvelous! Thank you for posting all these videos!
WOOOOOOOOW!!!!!!! Mr. Dale, you really play piano very well!!!!!! I love this kind of music and specially this song and you play it AMAZING!!!!!!, as all your other songs (Charlestone, Down Yonder, Maple Leaf Rag, 12th street rag, etc.). Excellent performance!!!!!
YOU ARE AN INCREDIBLE RAGTIME MUSICIAN!!I WISH I COULD PLAY AS WELL AS YOU CAN.YOU OWN RENDITIONS MAKE THESE CLASSICS YOUR PERSONAL TAKE ON THEM.INCREDIBLE JOB KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK!!!!!
This music and your piano style makes me cheerful. Like the feeling when the ice cream man just arrives and you know that today you gonna get that delicious piece of ice cream goodness. Soundwave Desert. Very Delicious to my ears. With this type of music you should be a tv star or some Las Vegas entertainer by now. Keep up the good work!
Sir I am astonished by the effect you came with this song and I have to say that you have a talent for composing and also that your hands are totally under your control. That is simply amazing.
I love this song. It's my favorite songs to play on the piano and one of the first non-hymn songs I ever learned. Your rendition is by far the best I have ever heard! I can't give you enough praise. You should be famous by now and making tons of money using your gift! Thank you so much for sharing your talent with the world and making people feel great inside. Your music relaxes me! :)
Allen, you've inspired me to start taking piano lessons... As a musician to another, you have great talent. I play many instruments, drums and guitar are my primary two, but you just inspired me to play piano so much more than I already try. Keep up the GREAT piano playing sir!
@jof1964jof I know what you mean, Jorg! I spend a lot of my evenings watching Allen's videos instead of television. And I usually stumble across one that I hadnt seen before. He is an amazing performer!
WOOOOOW ALLEN!!!!!!! THATS AWSOME!!!!! Let me know when your music is available for sale, I would definitly will be the first purchasing your album. Best Regards!!!!
Great rendition...Adds something that was missing.. Just cant put my finger on it...But I just cant put my finger on it.... But I know I like it...Once again.....Great job
Thanks for the comment. I don't know any of the songs you have requested. I A M not performing on you tube right now because of my health. SINCERELY, Allen DALE.
Health issues. Neuropathy has all but stopped my hands. I can't feel with them anymore.
Thank you for the beautiful music Allen
Your piano playing outdoes many of those pianola rolls that were played in those old parlors and such.
It's not complete without rootbeer. Excellently done.
holy hell. and i thought the normal version was hard to play, but this looks like hell on a handplatter! Fantastic job!
After nire than 10 years this is still my favorite arrangement of this wonderful song. 🙏❤
playing it dotted and cut is by far the best! RAGTIME OWNS. allen dale all the way!!
Thanks for sharing good music.
I think I just found the best ever ragtime pianist!
Your performances are beyond any other.
Love it! Allen's version never fails to cheer me up!
I love your music
Ever since I first saw Chico Marx, I thought that nobody could compete to him. You proved me wrong. Wonderful music!
That has to be the best version of the entertainer i have heard i years, it's har to find a good version these days :P.
Hey Allen - you ARE ragtime!! Thanks so much for posting all of these wonderful tunes.
Still listening to this years later. Allen Dale, a legend who will live on forever in our hearts!
Very unique style Allen... It's fun and rare to see this classic rendered with true passion.
Usually I can compare recitals of the Entertainer to nothing short of travestys, however, this is amazing, you play it with such energy and originality.
j'adore cette version et cette façon d'interpreter ce morceau. Quel talent!!! Merci de nous en faire profiter...
I really like your style Mr. Allen Dale. This song transports me to a saloon in the old-west.
Great playing there.
