A truly remarkable pianist - how her fingers could move so fast with such accuracy is beyond me, and I don't reckon I'm too bad myself!! 11 out of 10 from me!!

[TheUbinator]

Incredible.And she smiles all the time

[pianofan2204]

@mikewoollett Thank you Mike, I'm glad you enjoyed it.Louis Prima was a rocket!

[cogidubnus1953]

Stunning...none better...

[Pirlinetor]

Love that wink XD

[boondoggle6]

good lord! her hands move faster than the speed of light, and she has the time to smile at the camera too!

[Ivoryticklermama]

Hey Mike, Thanks for posting our Winnie. You sound so much like her. 5***** I can't believe Harold, my boyfriend of long ago thought I sounded like this too.

It was one of the main reasons he married his "Little BOOGIE WOOGIE Country Queen," he said. ha I have been Joan Hollis Atwell for the past 38 years. Still tickling the ivories and loving it and much as you do.

Your piano buddy,

Joan Atwell

Have your best day ever !

[mikewoollett]

That's quite a compliment Joanie. Winnie will always be the best!! I'm still enjoying all your clips (especially "Happy Birthday") . Keep playing xoxo

[muirhouseterrace]

You know that you can have left-handed guitars and golf clubs but what about pianos? I once bought left-handed darts but they were rubbish - not worth the extra money!

[bornonafarm]

I have been thinking about that and you may be right, Oscar Peterson always impresses but there are other who are more fun

[c7rky]

Definatley...Oscar Peterson is from a technical point of view, one of, if not the best pianist ever, but no-one can deny that this is fun to listen to :D

[ptm51]

Loves that too!

Thanks ptm51

[bornonafarm]

much as I love this lady, the greatest recording of this tune must be by Art Tatum. Jelly Roll Morton explaining how he developed the tune from a French quadrill, on his Library of Congress recordings, is most informative if you can find a copy

[Mousepie999]

Jelly-Roll Morton was a jazz great but he was also a terrible liar! Tiger Rag was composed by Nick LaRocca for the Original Dixieland Jass Band. It was the most recorded, and most plagiarized, jazz tune of the 78rpm era!

[Brandotuomikoski]

arts good but Honestly I think Winifred is more musical!

[kingofthekeyboard]

Mike- what is the last clip of Winnie from? I dont think i know that one?

[mikewoollett]

That was from an interview she did around 1976.

[JamesPriceJohnson]

i love it so much

[mikewoollett]

Winnie is fantastic!!

[NicolaBurrow]

This is one version of Tiger Rag I'd never heard but always wanted to. Thank you Mike for making my day.

[mikewoollett]

You wont hear it played better! Merry Christmas.

[forwardtenth]

Good to hear Winnie once again - keep posting these vids from the past they make great viewing. Regards David

[mikewoollett]

Glad you enjoy them-Winnie will always be Number One! Merry Christmas
