[eligarf]

@BroklyHD

the tiger was sent to Madrid, Spain.

you can ask cOnchashome for it.

[streetspiritlive]

I feel and am a silly woman(girl) so someone said recently...

and he's right, but i'll cuddle my dragon forever!..

n just try and take him away from me

n you'll feel a fire worse than his breath

that will condemn you for eternity!!!

Love, m ; }

[NeglectedGoldfish]

Pleaseeee.... can you tell me what book this is in? Its simply amazing.

[TERb8]

@NeglectedGoldfish hey, thanks. but its not a book cause I was improvising off of chords. maybe I'll do a tutorial on this channel; its a great piece, just play with it!

peAce from Japan, eLi gARF

[NeglectedGoldfish]

@TERb8 Thanks for the reply! I would love you to post some kind of tutorial on this. I listen to your video almost every day and would love to play it for myself.

Peace from Scotland.

[TERb8]

[sadieloraine]

Did you compose this?? If not, where can I get the music??

[raysleslie]

Thank you from the bottom of my heart. It brought back memories of my mother, who sang it to me when I was little.

[burgerbun723]

oh my god my mother sang this to me when i was little it almost makes me cry! i love it so much! i even like the lyrics

[myls1000]

i love this song =D

[nothinbutboxer]

Very nice! I think that thats funny how the keys you use most are all dirty! C:

[elichans]

yeah, they LOOK dirty, but actually its the wood you see, cause the ivory has fallen off my keyboard!

I've got Blisters on my Fingers!!!

[NeglectedGoldfish]

Amazing. Simply superb. Amazing talent.

Do you know the name of the book this version is in? I'd love to learn this.

Peace,

Fish

[benotdave]

Make peace, not war.

[ellecktra90]

This song is about smoking weed you all know it is. LITTLE JACKIE PAPER!! PUFF. Frolicked in the autum mist! totally high

[pianoman4845]

Not for nothing but did you know that this song was originally a very nice folk song and now people care to use it of getting high or smoking which (my opinion) really destroys the song if some people think it that way. It is a magnificent song.

[engelhardtcpl]

omg, that's awesome dude!

[pianoman4845]

OMG I CANT GET OVER THAT YOU ACTUALLY HAVE 4.5 STAR?!?!?! WHERE THE HELL IS THAT OTHER HALF MAN! U SHOULD HAVE 5 STARS. no questions asked 5 stars and no less. no matter what, dont listen to anyone, if u wanna go far keep doing what you want. this magnificent piece of art here made my life. not my day my life. i am amazed how good this is. please keep it up friend. it was incredible 5 stars from me. Bravo.

[Manisback]

I agree.

You know what you do and can go far. Just keep moving forward;)

[culverlocal]

great rendition bro!!

[pianoman4845]

nice timing.

[ParadiseEarth1]

An all time favourite played wonderfully as usual and that's an awesome looking guard you got to your right there.***** :)

[eligarf]

hey JennaLynnKtaki! thanks for your comment. it takes work to learn to play, but if you love what you do work is fun every day. cheeeers! eLi G., pianowarist in japan.

[eligarf]

thank you and LOVE all music! peacEverydayourway!

[Cynphx]

that evil looking bobcat on your piano is distracting and scary LOL but you did an awesome job to one of my fav songs :)

[we1l]

brilliant rendition of one of my favorite tunes!

i see no one has asked this question but where can i get the sheet music for this piece? thanks very much.

[eligarf]

it is a great tune!

as far as the sheets go, I got it from a music store in a collection of classic pop tunes, or something like that. will try to do another video showing how to play! very easy chord progressions so hope you can figure it out by ear!

[tenish1]

You did a great!! I love this song, thanks so much 4 sharing this video with me. It made my day,You take care. Thanks

[nightshadow777]

YOU ARE AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!

[jcpiano]

I didn't realize that Jackie "Paper", "Puff", and Dragon = "Dragging" symbolized subliminal drug use to every 8 year old elementary school kid watching those great tv cartoon specials. Now that they TV execs caught on to the meaning, you never see those cartoons anymore.

[jcpiano]

Very nicely played. Someone said to me that this classic Peter, Paul, & Mary song's secret meaning was based on smoking weed in the 60's. You Puff the "Magic Dragon", which is a joint, and what you get is love and harmony.

[Abasudika]

You are an awesome pianist! I love the white tiger mascot too! This tune reminds me of my childhood. Memories.. Thanks man. Dan =:)

[conkling]

in a land called "hanilee"??? does anybody know how to get 2 hannilee????

love your playing!!!

[1iFbYLand2ifBYc4KIDS]

Hi EliG,

This is sssso beautiful.

Many of us can play the notes but the key to your beautiful music is your heart and the places you go "other worlds" while playing. You're a great teacher and friend.
