What an era of music! Thank god you play it. I used to sing these tunes in the piano bars in NYC, I was smash! I collect antique phonographs. I see you have a few in the background. You should show them some day.
Such awesome playing! I’m listening to your Sunday Evening Concert on Monday Afternoon at work. Makes Monday’s a bit more tolerable :) You just finished playing the song that the old guy sang to his wife in “The Postman Always Rings Twice.” Wow!

Love Stardust and Adam's interpretation of it - the cross hands section sounded great - apparently plyaing the piano is good for the brain (in terms of staving off dementia) but especially if you play crossy buckle!
