...well you were racing here and there just a little -but you got a really beautiful tone and technique --ya know, if you could sing you'd be dangerous! ---cheers
you've laid out in 3:20 what most classical pianisti will never realize-true purity and emotion. They seem to be more interested in "doing scales" and showing off their incredible talent, but I wonder if they do it with feeling?
Thanks for the comment! I would say personally the vast majority of classical pianists play with purity and emotion. Perhaps when learning songs for technical expertise this can be lacking, but any musician as opposed to technician will play with passion no matter what the subject
The piano part playing during the line that begins with "Biscayne Bay, where the Cuban gentlemen sleep all day..." almost makes me cry every time I hear it. You did Fagen justice, man. No small feat.
surely one of their finest pure compositions... along with black cow, deacon blues, west of hollywood, almost gothic and some others... can really witness the quality of the composing better when it's 'stripped' down like this... .. thanks for more great work
This was spectacular. Of all the songs on K.L this is my favorite, which is strange because I play Guitar and this is the only song without a Guitar. When you listen to the original and focus on the Piano Donald is beating that Piano like a drum, there just seems to be such passion, nothing like it. Thank you for this great teaching aid.
Thank *you* for such a nice comment! I think its my favourite too, though it would be up against Rose Darling.. there's something so cool about that. I'm really glad if it helps people learn; thats what I think is one of the best things about YT. Its such an amazing source of inspiration to me.

Hey, you did a beautiful job but I can tell the difference. Your version is happy and theirs is kind of whimsical but sad. Very good though
