I want to thank everyone for all of their kind comments and support. I am sorry if you were worried about me. I have not been able to make a video until now. I am at my aunt's house now because I am still not able to return to my house because of the fires. Fortunately my house did not burn down but we are still not allowed to go into the neighborhood where I live. My favorite part of this song is where the "knocks" start at 1:40. This is the first song I have learned by Jelly Roll Morton. I still need some more practice on it to make it really smooth but I wanted to post it right now because everyone was worried.
Thank you, Sir. It is very courteous and much appreciated. I hope your worry is relieved, and you are able to enjoy this "unplanned vacation". The longer you wait to go back, the less dust and soot will be in the air. Thank you again, from North Carolina. Best wishes to you, your family, and your neighbors.
Leander, I'm so happy to see you safe at your Auntie's home. We're continuing to Keep all of you in our prayers. Love this song and will keep watching for your next.🎼🎶♥️
I’m thankful that your house was spared, but we have to do whatever we can to help those who lost everything. Your joyous music can only help everyone feel better!❤❤❤❤
I am Sooo--- happy that you WILL eventually be able to go back to your own home and your own piano! Please thank your Aunt for letting you play her piano for us. Peace to you and the rest of your community! ☮️
Leander,❤ We are SO Relieved To See Your Smiling Face And Here You Play Your Aunt’s Piano! You and your family are in our Thoughts and Prayers! Love and Hugs from Central Florida! So grateful that your home is safe and protected! Playing Piano is Such a Stress Reliever! You Brighten Our Days!
So glad you and your family are ok! Thank you for letting your subscribers know. You are in our prayers! ❤️🙏 I’m a retired school teacher and have also taught piano for many years (still do). I became hooked on ragtime in the late 60’s when I learned Golliwog’s Cakewalk by Claude Debussy. It was my college audition piece in 1970 to qualify for organ lessons. Then I learned everything from Scott Joplin & others that I could get my hands on! Sweetheart, you are so amazing and your music flows from your very soul! (You should share your talent on America’s Got Talent!) Keep on doing what you do so well! 🎶🎶 Headed to my piano right now to play some ragtime! The snow is pretty outside ❄️.
@@user-ki8uf9se5o That is really interesting that you played Golliwog's Cakewalk so that you could have organ lessons. Do you play ragtime on organ? What ragtime did you play today?
Hearing some Jelly Roll can make everyone forget problems for a while! Really fun song, with 'knocks' that make you and all of us smile! Be safe and happy, God bless you and your family, and all Californians. 🙏 👏🤗 Big hugs, Jerry.
I could see a silent movie in my mind, as characters returned to a home with glee and gratitude. You always bring such powerful emotions into your playing. Thank you for sharing your joy.
You are so great...so grandiose...so unique!! You give the world something very big! Thank you very much for that!! I love you! - Of course only platonic!! - Many greetings from your big fan from Germany!🎈🥳😃👣🇩🇪❤️🔥👍🎉🤗
Merci pour ce joli morceau 🙏🏻 Je suis content d'apprendre que votre maison ainsi que vos vies ont été épargnées par ce désastre 😳, quelle chance !🍀🤞 Prenez soin de vous et continue à nous émerveiller avec tes mélodies 😘👏🥰❤️
Bless your heart - of course we were worried about you ! Glad you are safe, and your house and family too. You seem to come from a Musical family - Pianos everywhere ! Take care Leander. 🙂
Leander...THANK YOU ! Great news regarding your home. It's heartbreaking to see the loss in CA right now ! Watching you enjoy this tune is as perfect can be ! YOU ARE AMAZING !!!! 👏🏼 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼❤
I am so glad that you and your family are safe and that your home is okay~it is always wonderful to listen to you play....you brighten my day every time~
Music heals everything. Thank you for your posting. Sounds great. Thank you for sharing your gratitude for the many well wishers. We are all so happy to have you share your gifts with us.
Leander you caught my heart with this one 💓. I hear and see your solid joy. These fires are undeniably a disaster. It's great for you that theres a piano in every houses you go, I deduce that music runs in the family, fantastic! Thank you from Canada.
Being an Old Grandpa myself, I can really appreciate Morton's "stride piano style" ! -- It's a specialized tone and feel that enhances your prowess, Sweetheart ❤ ! I can't tell you how happy I am to hear you and your family' are safe ❤❤❤ ! Prayer Does Help ! -- Thank HIM ❤
This is NOT stride. Morton never recorded any stride. His pieces are usually called Stomps, a term he originated with King Porter Stomp, and really it's early jazz. Very different to stride in many ways
@@jaygee999 It’s fine. I just see a lot of people getting confused over different styles and using very wrong terms so I just tend to correct it when I notice it. The other day I saw some fellow who thought Gershwins piano solos were ragtime!
So glad to hear that you and your family are safe and you didn't lose your home. Hope you can return safely there soon. I know you and your family have been in the thoughts and prayers of your many subscribers around the world. We all need to keep the many people suffering from these terrible fires in mind. So glad playing music for us makes you feel better. It's certainly a blessing to us all. There's no need to be sorry that your listeners are concerned for you and your family, but it speaks well of your kind nature that you would think that way. Enjoyed Jelly Roll Morton and the "knocks" you mentioned. All the best for brighter days ahead.
So glad Leander your house didn't burn down. I can tell through your brilliant playing how happy you are. A sense of release I'm sure from the anxious moments. Take care and thanks for the joy you give both from playing and being just you. (from Australia)
Thanks for thinking to assure everyone that you and your family are safe and that your house still stands. Today's song has quite a few intricate passages!
I love J. R. Morton! Thanks for playing this. Now learn a favorite of mine, "Wolverine Blues," also a tough piece. I am happy you and your home are safe.
Leander, thank you so much for playing this song. It's one of my favourites! You did a great job too! I hope all your friends and family are safe from the fires!
Glad everyone is ok. Music helps with stress and worries so it’s great to hear you playing through all the turmoil Leander. You’re really way ahead of your time. ☑️⭐️👍👋👋👋👋👋
I’m relieved to hear you and your family are safe and your house didn’t burn down! That was an absolutely fantastic performance, I never thought someone your age could play Jelly Roll Morton!
Yes, I (we) have been very worried. I am (we are all) SO very relieved you and your family are safe, and your house was spared. I love Jelly Roll Morton, and you played this song exceptionally! I like the "knocks", too. 😁 I can envision couples dancing the Charleston, stomping with the knocks. Thank you, Leander. Be safe.

Great news. I know it will take some time, but soon, all will be well again. You and your family are blessed and safe, that's the main thing. Very nice tune. Thank you
I love your style of music. You are awesome, maybe during the rebuild of LA you can play your beautiful and fun music outside and everyone can enjoy and be happy.
I am so glad you and your family did not lose their house in the fire. Thanks again for another fun song somewhere Jelly roll is smiling I hope you get to play some more Vince Guaraldi tunes
Leander I am so happy that you and your family are safe and sound! I was very worried and have been listening to all your great songs trying to keep track of you. Thank you, Thank you Thank you, for playing this wonderful song and it is SO WONDERFUL to see you again!

So sorry to hear about the fires disaster out there, but your piano playing is undeterred, and still so full of joy....hopefully you can return home soon, you're so talented!
GREAT to see and hear you again! I loved that song! Play your Aunt's piano to pieces! Thrilled to hear that your house was spared and you may be able to go home soon! Best wishes for you and your family Leander. 😊❤
