Saint James Infirmary

[skip2mylou1988]

Great :P

[youbobwhatsnew]

James Booker originally, no?

[crazypianolady]

Your camera angle makes the piano look huuuuuge ;) Your voice could be in the west end!

[nadiladi]

and ur voice cracks me up =)

[nadiladi]

i didnt think the faster-paced versions could be this HOT. great job

[aab35]

I WANNA PLAY

[ardvark181]

teach me to play like you

[candycanechild333]

awesome!!!

[Tamsinger]

Man! fantastic! Such an unique voice! :) Love it!

[sistersdaddy]

I love this song but you ran through it. Still a great song.

[comeonloser]

what are you doing with the left hand?

[Bread1618]

Oooh I enjoyed that very much!

Your playing is AMAZING! and I LOVE the voice, I find it suits the song sooo much!

Keep up the awesome work!

<3

[druNkwriter]

THank you so much... far too kind, but I appreciate it.

Cheers!

anyone who is saying not-so-friendly comments have no talent at all or you're right - they would put up their own versions. (probably just punk kids who think Hanna MOntana is talented)

I think your voice is cool - well suited for this style of music - and your piano skills are awesome... keep it up.

[druNkwriter]

Hey thanks man; I'm just a broken down cocktail pianist/drunk, but I appreciate the kind words. And Hannah Montana is my primary musical influence.

Who the fuck is Hanna Montana?

Cheers! :p

[GaeGoGi]

Damn. As far as a just a guy and his piano goes, this is the best version I've heard. I can't tell if it makes me want to quit or continue learning this song.

[druNkwriter]

NEVER QUIT. Quitting is for people who want to lead very happpy, very boring lives free from years of degenerate boozing, exciting (although failure-prone) relationships, hot music, and the constant certainty that you're just trying to fool yourself. If you love it, then don't stop. If you don't love it, however...

Cheers!

[menashadude]

You are one hell of a character.....your turn of phrase, talent and charisma is rare and interesting.

[youjustdidntknowme]

AMAZING! That blew my mind.

I'll be smiling for hours.

So THANKS!

[stormbikes]

Fucking awesome stuff

[druNkwriter]

Thanks man, I try. Cheers!

[Smolley28]

Your playing cant be faulted, fantastic. Your singing is a caricature though, just plain stupid. Your voice doesnt sound like that. When the old blues artists sounded like that singing, it wasnt a put-on.

[druNkwriter]

First of all, thank you for the compliment. Now, in order of importance:

2. I encourage any who choose to comment on my voice to offer (as a counterbalance) their own performance of the song.

3. I sing the way I sing. If you don't like it, go fuck yourself. And don't listen. It's not affectation; it's the way I sing.

I look forward to hearing your rendition soon.

Cheers!

[thesusieQ]

that was fantastic :)

[druNkwriter]

:-) thank you so much for making my night!

[asianpower15]

Dude, that was pretty awesome. Your playing the piano, especially!

[hendrix1249]

Dude, that was great, if you have a partiture for this song let me know, i've been loocking for it, can't find it. awesome song.

[jjkadmopirlaboup]

Damn, man, what a great voice !

I like it ! Nice playing.

[EbolaCola]

[greekyboy123]

Very nice - Dr John meets Tom Waites. I came across your stuff by accident and I'm very glad I did.

[difrentinallways]

[wildones]

Brilliant rendition, buddy. Exciting stuff.

[Fuzzymomma]

Thats deadly well done! Have you heard it done by Dr. John?

[druNkwriter]

I'm sure I have; love Dr. J; he's a MOOOONNNNSSTTEEEEERRRR!!!

Cheers!

[druNkwriter]

Ok, so the chords didn't quite turn out the way I intended. Send me a msg or msg me on my myspace account (which I find easier to manage than the mail on youtube) and I'll get em to you. Thanks so much for watching!

Cheers/1

[druNkwriter]

Haha. Thanks. But it's the only one I got. Cheers!

[JackWarren2]

no worries

[druNkwriter]

LOL. You say that is if I cared one way or the other! If I did, I would have asked you to tell me that I can't sing. 'Tard.

[JackWarren2]

You can't sing!  LOL.

[sidewalkpilot]

great job...

i'm a big James Booker fan myself.... pick up NEW ORLEANS PIANO WIZARD LIVE

[CBasie2856]

Where do you get all your stride knowlege from? Did you get all of your knowlege from listening and transcribing Fat's Waller + James P Johnson songs or did you learn from sheet music? Like theonewhitstyle said, you should be famous. You are far too great just to be playing for gigs!

[theonewhitstyle]

i just started really watching your channel...what can i say-you should be famous someday,if you arent famous already!honestly-just great!

[druNkwriter]

Too kind, man! Playing my Friday gig at the Freakin' Frog is probably as famous as I'll ever get - and that's fine with me. Just trying to keep the tradition going as best as I can. Cheers!
