Well, it only took a year or so, but I finally get to hear what the intro to this piece sounds like. Great playing by Adam Swanson!

Nice job Adam!!!! Correct you are, this piece is very appropriately titled. I'm way too scared of his compositions to buy his folio. Great tunes, i'm just not skilled enough to learn them. Four-hand them, MAYBE, but not play them solo. :)

@Ragtimer95 Tom's first two folios include some simpler pieces as well as complicated ones. The "Blue Sahara" folio on the other hand has the tunes scored pretty closely to how he plays them. But they all bear a note instructing the pianist to use the sheet music only has a guide and to come up with their own renditions.

Frederick plays for a living. He plays solo and with the High Society Jazz Orchestra which plays Swing, Jazz, Big Band Swing. Tom holds a full time job as a computer programer/analyist, supervisor for a Major City. Adam is only 19 at this writing, and not sure what his future is.He records, has appereances booked, but NOT SURE if he is going to College or not? Most of these fabulous entertainers do have a day job, Thanks for your thoughts.............VBR

@verybigrifle If I recall correctly, I believe that Adam is studying music in college in Colorado. Not sure if that's still the case. His YouTube channel user name is adamgswanson. Thanks for another great upload vbr.

@ouirv Thanks ouirv for the info...I thought Adam was attending college, but really wasn't sure, and didn't want to post what i didn't know. A LOT of these musicians are "Professionals" and play for the "Love" of it.........Thank you for your comments...VBR
