i cant belive its only had 27.000 should be 10 million, cos he plays the music that every l&h fan loves , and i got 133 of their films missing out on 15 , or is it 17 lol
wow he did a great job! And at such speed too! Amazing talent! All he missed was "honolulu baby!" I ve got that clip up now. I love Laurel and Hardy. Thanks for a good show!
Before "Talkies" there would have been many pianists around like him that played in cinemas but now people that can improvise like this and draw upon music he has heard and stored in his memory are rare. Loads of hints at tunes from their films! Marvellous!
IT IS COMING...! The 'Decoding Laurel and Hardy Project' website - very soon - one unique place where all your comments regarding the Return of Laurel and Hardy can be displayed and viewed by all who feel the same way - that it's about time that Laurel and Hardy were back on our screens, big and small. For further details - website launch etc - please contact laurelhardyladyno12010@hotmail.co.uk and join in one united effort to bring Laurel and Hardy back into all our lives!
The LeRoy Shields stuff was interchangeably used for various Roach lot series. The original material was recorded on strips of sounds film which could be copied (cut-and-pasted, basically) as underscoring over and over again. This fellow seems to be either remembering his own rendition of these tunes from years before, or he's orchestrating for piano on the spot - which is great! Fine ears and memory he's got. Both Disney theme parks have white upright pianos (for ragtime) on Main Street.
I love how he says "I haven't been rehearsing -- I'll see if I can remember it" --- and then goes into a great performance of most of the classic Laurel & Hardy themes.
Some of the music from Laurel and Hardy was also shared with the Little Rascals. there's a few songs that were more famous as Little Rascals music in there.
All the L&H themes are on CD by THE BEAU HUNKS ORCHESTRA on the Koch label. The album is out of print but is available on eBay and Amazon. The sheet music is collected in a book called THE MUSIC OF LAUREL & HARDY -- also OOP but available if you look.
Somebody once referred to the music from Laurel & Hardy/ Little Rascals as the soundtrack of the lives of those of us of a certain age. It totally defines my childhood years from the 1960s. Thanks for posting this- it wasn't written for solo piano, but this fella did a great job.
YES!!!!!! I am a musician and a huuuuuge Laurel and Hardy fan!
