[MediaMillennium]

@allendale1962 Hi, this is wonderful. You can feel what America is all about just by listening to you play. Can I ask you, do you have the piano sheets for this? or do you just improvise.

[allendale1962]

[talkinwalnut1]

For not only on this song, but many of your songs, do you you base your left hand on simple octave-chord patterns with occasional walk-ups? I'd love to hear an explanation from such a great player. Thanks.

[allendale1962]

@talkinwalnut1 I really can't eplain the technicalities on my music, I just picked it up from old recordings.

[sonataGH]

Hello sonata here again..can't get enough of this good stuff! Allen, I hale from WV and never heard Take me home done in Ragtime ever..thank you! When I was but six years old I saw myself hovering over the shoulder of someone in the 1800's of the old west in a saloon and was watching him play the piano in Ragtime. I have just had that feeling again watching you and I am now 63..man, what a feeling! You are the best of Youtube..PLEASE, keep it up..We here on Youtube LOVE you!! Sincerely, sonatagh

[allendale1962]

@sonataGH Thanks for the com[pliments. I hope to start performing again real soon.

[bajacraig2]

Allen, Your worth $5 a song In your tip bowl ! !, 6 for $20, No Joke... I would not hesitate drop'n a $20 in your tip bowl... Good luck n your new venture. Craig

[allendale1962]

@bajacraig2 Thanks!

[sisterfelix]

it is Sister Felix who is grateful for the many hours of enjoyment of listening to your wonderful playing. You have brought many happy memories that joggs Sisters tired and feeble old mind. She would have gotten lost trying to find Mt.Carmel anyway, besides the Dart would die along the way. Bye Bye for Now....Your #1 Fan S.Felix

[allendale1962]

@sisterfelix Thanks and bless you.

[maddog5461]

@sisterfelix Just take a flight from O'hare to Evansville Indiana, and Allen will pick you up, wearing his "Priest Suit", LOL Len P.

[sisterfelix]

Sis has been busy waxing the Dodge Dart in anticipation for her trip to Mt Carmel.She isn't suppose to drive at night after that Michigan Aveunue fiasco a couple years ago but she wants to here you in person don't you ever play at lunch? so she could be back to Chicago before dark. #1 fan Sis

[allendale1962]

@sisterfelix Sis, I wish I had a lunchtime gig, but I am sorry. I am greatful for your fanship and friendship. In about another 6 weeks I WILL have a job as pianist for a new restaurant opening called Nostalgia. I will be a lunchtime server and an evening pianist. I might even be able to sneak some tunes in at lunchtime while working. Sincerely, Allen.

[sisterfelix]

Sister Felix is dining at Chappys next Wednesday night if the Dodge Dart will make it she will be in the front row, you won't miss her! Love your playing! Your #1 Fan S.Felix by the way, Where is Mt.Carmel at anyway?

[allendale1962]

@sisterfelix Mt. Carmel, Illinois. 16 miles west of Princeton, IND.

[rmclean65]

Super You Are! Will you do the Michigan Rag if not already posted. Do you give concerts?
