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

Wow. Amazing info, Paul. Thanks a lot. I might use this info in my next lesson.

Glad I found your channel...exactly the kind of piano style I'm looking to play

The best boogieman. El mejor profesor. Gracias por los tutoriales

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

Well done! I got a lot of great ideas from that. Thank you. And special thanks to the camera girl!

Amazing ! Thank you to your camera help ! Real nice close ups !!!!! Loved it.

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.

Look up my lesson on coordinating both hands. It's there is you look for it. Cheers, BK

Dr John has a tutorial tape showing this himself. Order the DVD from Homespun Tapes

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.

You make it look so easy 😮

Thanks Johnno.

Thanks Peter

Its great that you keep producing these excellent tutorials.

Thanks butter.

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

That's all right, Luke.

Wow this is great, talk about enough to keep a guy busy.

Thanks pinjo

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

Very interesting, how do you get the keys to vibrate ? Hope to speak to you soon .

Another fantastic video, thanks! Do you have any videos/advice for combining the left and right hands? I seem to get really jumbled when I try.

Great stuff, thanks again geordie in boston area.
