To all you piano players who happen to see my comment.... This is what I wish you and future generations will look up to in terms of real music! Practice hard and work hard! Fail and learn!!! You have no idea how much people will appreciate you for mastering an intrument!!!
R.I.E.P to my amazing brother Big John Carter. You were truly wonderful and so creative. I’m going to miss you so much. All my love your little sister Kim x😢🙏
Never heard him play in the flesh but really would have loved too. He just nailed it... ! Would loved to have known more about him , how he learned to play etc.... sad loss
@@trevmassey885 He was self taught. He used to pick me up from school just so he could play the piano in the hall. He was devoted to his music. He lived and breathed it.
@@kimabrahams3178 that's great..... Sure you have lots of great musical memories... Every time I get fed up playing I stick on a video of him and it inspires me to make an effort !!
Greetings from Texas... Big John, my friend: your boogie woogie isn’t the fanciest but by God it’s the rockin’ best. Smooth. I have heard ‘em all. You have the finest purest boogie woogie of all. I still have your CD and I play it all the time.
That old piano has seen it's fair share of boogie woogie. I've seen 3 great performances on that piano here on youtube! Mr carter's boogie is top notch stuff
I don't understand how people can just keep on walking by while he plays! I would have had to get my boogie woogie dancing shoes on and shake my butt! :)
I just don't understand what exactly he does with the left hand. Especially regarding the c sharp/f sharp/g sharp he's hitting often. I don't really see the regularity with those keys. Does anyone?
Thats the pattern of the bass, keys played I think are: C, C, D# + A, C, E + G, C, F + A, E + G Play that 4 times then transpose the above to F and G in the pattern he was
The Piano's out of tune somewhat and some wires are loose.. so the Left Hand c sharp etc, keys that get used less, are more prominent than they would be on a different piano.. I love it though.. the piano has character and sounds like a Saloon piano.. Big John Carter is Fantastic.. one of my favourites.
As a dilettante drummer from Finland, the land of Sibelius and Käärijä, I gather this boogie is in C, but despite that the left hand root incorporates C sharp and D sharp?? Am I all wronkg?? 🥴😵😵💫
Not that far. If you watch Henri`s Boogie, at one minute and forty seconds on the top right of screen Big John Carter comes into shot wearing the same clothes as he is in this vid. Boogie Woogie boys day out. Both filmed the same day.

R.I.P BIG JOHN CARTER
Greetings from Texas...
Big John, my friend: your boogie woogie isn’t the fanciest but by God it’s the rockin’ best. Smooth. I have heard ‘em all. You have the finest purest boogie woogie of all.
I still have your CD and I play it all the time.
Big John needs his own channel so we can enjoy more of his fine playing. I really liked this.
Big John Carter is one of my favourites, I wish he had his own channel here on TH-cam..
Rest in peace, you will be missed.
I took lessons from him on a weekly basis for 2.5 years and he was fantastic teacher!
That old piano has seen it's fair share of boogie woogie. I've seen 3 great performances on that piano here on youtube! Mr carter's boogie is top notch stuff
He's brilliant
This is great foot stomping music, can't keep still!!! Carry on Big John!
Big John Carter uk boogie player always at his best 👍
You are great Big John, love to hear You and Henri play together !
Can’t stop watching the great music.
GOOD OL FASHIONED BOOGIE I LOVE IT
Beautiful, keep the music up.
I don't understand how people can just keep on walking by while he plays! I would have had to get my boogie woogie dancing shoes on and shake my butt! :)
well, there are some people looking in the right general direction! and then someone clapped at the end!
Deborah Kennedy I can understand not dancing (prudishness is essential for basic survival in London), but at least a few more smiles would make sense!
That goes to show you people's manners like they say for your raising the barn
thanks john and to dr k too for your music Mark in Tx USA
The Governor ❤️ 🎹

Well you should be proud of your dad , he is brilliant
Hello John's Dad!
He was great, gave so much pleasure to so many! Condolences to you. I'm here on TH-cam watching his performances and remembering him.

Mr. boogie woogie ... is far from being Henri John Pierre Herbert

I love it
