Retired, part time school bus driver, golf season is winding down so some serious piano practice starts as the winters are pretty nasty.some day i will do a video of my boogie stuff. Thanks Ray
Ones again,very nice teatching of how you can playing this piece of boogie and give at real feeling of a very good music. I like it very mutch. Thank's Brendan
Another excellent video. It just so happens that we actually live very near the Suwannee River in north central Florida. Did you know that the song was originally called "Pee Dee River"? The pee dee river is in south Carolina. Swanee is a corruption of suwannee, which is a native American word. Interesting trivia is one of my interests. Think county is Suwannee. The river flows from southern Georgia and all the way to the Gulf of Mexico...and there are alligators in and around the river.
I heard it once I thought some guy had the idea on the spot to mix boogie with corny swanee river but no it's a real dang loved thing apparently. God save us all.
Many Thanks Brendan keep up the good work with the tutorials,I've no piano at the moment as I'm saving up for the new Yamaha CP4 my last piano was the Yamaha CP5.
Thanks for sending me three responses Tom. Remember to study the "Vigilant Citizen" website on the modern music industry esp Gaga, Cyrus et al. Also do some reseach into Monarch programming (especially with regards to Britney Spears). Then you might agree with me about Celebrity Culture. BK
Brendan, great tutorial on Swanee River. My question is regarding the fact that I've noticed you play well, and apparently unaffected on different pianos, and keyboards. Don't you find the "touch" of especially for old pianos much stiffer than keyboards? This presents a challenge to keep the tune. I have an old upright that is quite different to my keyboard. Any tips? Thanks, Chuck
