Allen Dale-When The Saints Go Marching In (Traditional to Ragtime)

[dlr71mi]

Great job, I'm glad you decided to humor the guy!

[jcompaor]

How can I find this score???

[hiroyasu4]

I have ever heard this song at the Disneyland of JAPAN.

I thought this is such a replesentative song of USA that gives us hope & fight.

It's funny ,bright,and suitable for the JAZZ PIANO.

[allendale1962]

@hiroyasu4 Thank you.

[dhsjohn01]

Not too bad on the gospel songs for a foul mouth atheist.

[rooo1o]

@dhsjohn01 You know, for a Christian guy, you're a very insulting man. Maybe you should go burn some more books about magic.

[nelolo]

Rock it, Allen! I loved it!

[calliopeman10]

You should learn how to play the Maple Leaf Rag!

[allendale1962]

@calliopeman10 I HAVE THE MAPLE LEAF RAG POSTED ON YOU TUBE!!!!!!

[jlh2667]

when you play, do you let your hands be as stressless as possible and floppy?

[allendale1962]

@jlh2667 I just play as comfortable as I feel with songs. I have slotchy days and good days;depending on my mood and my health status.

[rooo1o]

is this one of your favorites?

[allendale1962]

@rooo1o It ranks somewhere in my top 100. Thanks.

[augpeh]

Well, I know this calliope player called Debbie Fagnmano, and she plays very much like you except hers is a bit faster.

[allendale1962]

I met Debbie on the NATCHEZ in 1995. I also ran into her on the Creole Queen at tallstacks once. She is a gifted keyboard player.

[augpeh]

She is, and so are you.

[allendale1962]

Thanks

[allendale1962]

Thank you!

[Wistbacka]

5stars! Do I need to say more?

Allen! What is your occupation and have you studied music or are you all self-taught?

-W-

[allendale1962]

I am an Activities Specialist. I studied music mostly at school. I had 2 private teahcers that briefly worked with me. I left, because sheet music was too difficult for me to see.

[stuliese]

LOL, wow that's amazing! I had private piano lessons starting at age 5 and ending somewhere at age 13 and I can read sheet music very well, but I never got to play those 'fun' tunes I craved for like ragtimes and boogies, so I stopped taking lessons.

Now look at you - you play amazing and I ency you for your skill and the obvious fun you have when you play piano. It motivated me to get back to the piano and try to imitate some tunes I heard you play. Love watching you play!!!

[sjerads]

Humored his ass LOL.

Superb piano playing - can't wait to study in the US

GOD BLESS YOU MY BROTHER!!!

[allendale1962]

thanks

[henrydeanjellybean]

I am glad you "humored his ass" it turned out great!

And love the jefferson electric mystery clock on the piano!

[allendale1962]

Lol...thanks!

[catrachowhodat87]

[midnightprism]

[allendale1962]

thank you.

[mrniceguy28431]

WOnderful!!! Standing Ovation!!!

[allendale1962]

thanks

[cryptrider]

As usual, this is a great rendition of an old standby. However, because you have recently started to use language that I deem to coarse for my grandchildren to hear, I can no longer subscribe to your site. It's a shame because they really have enjoyed your playing...

[allendale1962]

I am sorry If I offended you, and your grandchildren. When you are on YouTube you often get overwhelmed with too much to handle. Unfortunately it is very easy to lose track of your tongue. I do apologize, and I would suggest that you preview a video of mine BEFORE you play it for your grandchildren, just in case I mess up and say a naughty word again. Thanks, and If I've lost your Support for a word that means "DONKEY", then I am really sorry. Sincerely Allen Dale

[steinwaygrande1]

Allen. I wouldnt take it to heart what"cryptrider "said as I have nerv heard you say anything derogatory about anyone or person. You have been an out right gentleman throught and through and you have my 150% support. He can go to hell as far as we fans of yours are concerned. I would like to fnd the post where he said you had recently started to use language that he deemed to coarse forhis grandchildren. He is the DONKEY not you.

[allendale1962]

Thanks for your support and love!

[hineighbor]

Are you serious? Shelter your grandchildren much? Why focus on that relatively harmless word when the music is so beautiful?

[allendale1962]

Thanks for your support and love!

[steinwaygrande1]

We should all get behind Allen and give him our full,loyal and total support. I have never seen him say anything unkind or deroagatory about anyone. Allen is a gentlman through and through and I have the greatest admiration for his keyboard skills and his personality. If someone is going to take umbrage over some word that he was alleged to have used , then more fool to the person who goes under the anme of "CRYPTRIDER " I suggest that "CRYPTRIDER" disassociate himself totally from YouTube

[allendale1962]

Steinwat, this person has a voice. Let him/her stay on youtube. His voice isn't wanted on my site anymore, and I bet after awhile other folks want want this person around either! Let's just pray for this soul to be more forgiving of the occasional slip of tongue from the son of a sailor! Hugz!

[soccerplaya76]

How did you become so skilled?

[allendale1962]

Grace of God. Thanks

[soccerplaya76]

everytime i get online i seem to venture over to your videos and the fact that you answered my request makes me want to spread the word about you...God Bless You!!!

[allendale1962]

thanks

[soccerplaya76]

[allendale1962]
