[azhar537]

Mr. Allen Dale

You are just great on your piano playing. My thanks to you for your wonderful and ever thoughtful contribution. I'm sure every one who has listened to your music on the piano will agree with me. Congratulations to you and your love for your piano.

Azhar 537

[allendale1962]

@azhar537 Thank you.

[peacefrogzs]

Awesome!! Your so talented! I have been playing piano for several years.....I really want to learn this!!!

[allendale1962]

@peacefrogzs Thanks, and good luck on mastering this wonderful ragtime piece! God Bless you.

[ColonelMac1]

Very nice. Sounds a lot like James Johnson's Stride piano style.

[allendale1962]

@ColonelMac1 Thanks.

[concertpianist1]

I've never heard the Entertainer played with a swing beat. Different and catchy. You have a lot of the old piano roll styles incorporated in your playing. Love it, Steve ps-you need a "good" old upright to showcase your abilities.

[allendale1962]

@concertpianist1 Thanks, Steve.

[johnnyboy298]

do u know movie themes please

[allendale1962]

@johnnyboy298 I have the Theme to Summer Place and The Summer Knows on youtube that I know of.

[Winterstick549]

You know, with all the hits you get plus your skills, I'll bet a piano making company would loan you one as long as their name shows up in your videos. By the way, Billy Joel is a big Baldwin fan to.

[allendale1962]

@Winterstick549 Nice thought. I'd prefer to have a STEINWAY tho if I got an endorsement ! Thanks, Allen Dale.

[Melasande]

he should be famous

[allendale1962]

@Melasande I am just thrilled and honored that I am known and respected here locally! Thanks, Allen Dale.

[showya8488]

wow

[allendale1962]

@showya8488 Thank you.

[mma503]

I was just browsing when I happened to find your version of wasted days and wasted nights by freddie fender and I became an instant fan. I am not gifted like you but I sure have an ear for good music. Continue the good work!!

[allendale1962]

@mma503 Thank you.

[davefrog100]

you should be doing this for a living so more people could enjoy it regards davefrog100

[allendale1962]

@davefrog100 I AM doing this for a living now! I work here in Mt. carmel, IL as a pianist for a restaurant called Nostalgia. I am loving it!

[gogreen4040]

@allendale1962 I went there once!

[dezzerr]

you really are an inspiration |:

i learnt to play the original back when i was 13. im nearly 19 now and ive got much better but my god you sir are amazing.

[allendale1962]

@dezzerr Thank you.

[glenneu]

You should record your music and sell a cover album on iTunes ;)

[allendale1962]

@glenneu Thanks for the suggestion.

[starfoxhero]

Wow you're really good! I can play this song too but I'm no where as good as you!!

[allendale1962]

@starfoxhero Thank you, and keep practicing.

[cathiepops]

Wow - you're amazing!

[allendale1962]

@cathiepops thank you.

[SOUTHERNROCKID]

Woah... It's so... Frilly. =P

[allendale1962]

@FaeryRibbon thanks.

[jlh2667]

[jof1964jof]

Hello from Germany,

I just stumbled across your videos and spent my evenig listening (instead of working). Great job, keep on playing! It made my day!! Regards, Jörg

[allendale1962]

@jof1964jof Thank you, Jorg!

[RosanneB]

@jof1964jof I know what you mean, Jorg! I spend a lot of my evenings watching Allen's videos instead of television. And I usually stumble across one that I hadnt seen before. He is an amazing performer!

[MufinMcFlufin]

Sure enough. I did a search on your channel, and couldn't find it there, so I figured you may not have already had it (I mean, almost 600 videos is quite a lot to look through!), but after just searching your name and The Entertainer, here I am. I think I speak for all of your fans when I say we appreciate you taking the time to record all of these songs, as I'd imagine it must take you quite a while to make almost 600 videos.

[allendale1962]

@MufinMcFlufin thanks.

[bob11cow]

love you. can you to my heart and soul plz!!! and you are the best!

[allendale1962]

@bob11cow I have already posted Heart and Soul on Youtube. just go to youtube and type in allen dale-Heart and Soul

[i1love2her]

once again you make great arrangements

keep on going!

[allendale1962]

@i1love2her Thanks.

[SonyDCRHC37]

you are the master of ragtime piano on youtube:):)

[allendale1962]

@SonyDCRHC37 Thanks.

[KenKY4]

Beautiful, the best I've heard. Thanks, Ken

[allendale1962]

@KenKY4 Thanks.

[AlecExeter]

Very nice. I like it!

I wrote an arrangement of this tune in a minor key, I would love your input on it! The video is on my page.

[allendale1962]

@AlecExeter Thank you.

[BackYardParty088]

@allendale1962 you sure will

[BackYardParty088]

Hey great job man ! can we use this in one of our videos ?

[allendale1962]

@BackYardParty088 thanks. I will let you use this song if I get the credits for performing it.

[UNCRatDog]

I love this song. It's my favorite songs to play on the piano and one of the first non-hymn songs I ever learned. Your rendition is by far the best I have ever heard! I can't give you enough praise. You should be famous by now and making tons of money using your gift! Thank you so much for sharing your talent with the world and making people feel great inside. Your music relaxes me! :)

[allendale1962]

@UNCRatDog Thanks! If YOU feel good, I feel good also! :-D

[allendale1962]

@crazyeye05 Thanks.

[HowDareThey1970]

Awesome. I love the embellishments and improv notes.

[allendale1962]

@HowDareThey1970 Thanks.

[666wickedjack]

[allendale1962]

@666wickedjack Not really, but I love to play the piano. Even if I am not the best.

[UNCRatDog]

@666wickedjack I completely agree with you!!

[placesigopeopleimeet]

bitchin!! good stuff

[allendale1962]

Thanks.

[DMMoulton]

Nice, Allen! I'm curious: have you ever taken piano lessons? Did you teach yourself? You play remarkably well. There's something about your rag style that I could sit and listen to all night. Keep up the great work.

[allendale1962]

Throughout my life I have had the equivelant of 4 years piano lessons. Many teachers from Sunday School to grade school to high school helpme understand basics and some theory as I grew. Thanks, Allen Dale.

[lizlover9]

you do and amazing job keep going i am in love with ragtime and you just do so great at it keep going!

[allendale1962]

thanks

[allendale1962]

Thank you.

[zimwivez]

bravo!!! you are an inspiration!

[allendale1962]

thanks.

[estelle715]

Have you done "Chariots of Fire". That would be great!

[allendale1962]

I have Chariots of Fire already posted on youtube!

[bearnecessity07]

Thank you Allen Dale for making me smile today! I love, no wait, LOVE your Johnny Cash covers! I never like people covering him, but you and your piano bring a certain cheer to the Man in Black, hard to do! Absolutely marvelous! Thank you for posting all these videos!

[allendale1962]

Thank you.

[NEWK18]

WOW! u should play the Paragon rag in ur style!

[allendale1962]

I don't know the Paragon Rag. Sorry.

[shrike69er]

this song made me learn ragtime piano after playing classical

which was so much more fun for me to play.

to bad i stopped playing its nice to see and hear you play it witha a difference

[allendale1962]

Thanks.

[zipronovic]

very good allen go to play in the saloon west.....

[allendale1962]

LOL...thanks

[ksomi]

This music and your piano style makes me cheerful. Like the feeling when the ice cream man just arrives and you know that today you gonna get that delicious piece of ice cream goodness. Soundwave Desert. Very Delicious to my ears. With this type of music you should be a tv star or some Las Vegas entertainer by now. Keep up the good work!

[allendale1962]

Thank you.

[trace0305]

Hi, I love the way you play, I listen most of the day on my lap top in my workshop while i sew, i love all the tunes,

[allendale1962]

Thanks.

[allendale1962]

[SHADEKING2542]

[riceandthrice]
