I also meant to say how much I like the titles of the piano pieces too.

This is truly exotic - so evocative. What a rich culture Creole must have been and indeed still is. Why on earth isn`t Gottschalk much better known; he certainly deserves to be. Thanks for the great playing. I do have a CD of Gottschalk but is there a more general CD of Creole music?

I did not think Gottschalk fans shoud be deprived of the ending of this piece so I finished it for Frank. You can hear the end of this piece by clickinkg on the "Bamboula Concluded" (on the upper right by kyrpt3) scroll down as necessar to find it.

You can certainly hear Professor Longhair in this.

Brilliantly played- thank you! I first heard Gottschalk's " a Night in the Tropics" way back in the early sixties, and have heard his other compositions on CD and loved all of them. Thank God for youtube! We can see and hear talented pianist like you.

Frank... this is a great use of the internet. The video was able to capture the intensity and beauty of the performance. Sorry to hear it end so abruptly.. . where will you be playing it next?

[frankfrench]
