Hi Allen Another great tune, the way you play is magic to watch and listen to. I often sit here for hours watching you play,dont need to go out when you provide us with such great entertainment at home, Take care and look after your hands. Also can I say hello to Rosanne on the chance that she might watch this clip, Thank you and God Bless. Your Aussie fan Joy
Allen: When I wrote to you yesterday, I said that you are a great ragtime pianist. Please let me correct that. You are great at interpreting any tune, no matter what the rhythm is, and you do it with style, feeling, dexterity and lots of class. It's 1:30 a.m here and I don't go to bed yet as I can't stop listening to your music. The wife is calling. I must hit the sack. Jose, your friend and admirer from Ecuador.
This song was written by Dorothy Fields and Jimmy McHugh in 1935. It was introduced by Frances Langford in the movie "Every Night At Eight."
And yes, I remember seeing this, it was featured in the original Little Rascals, Our Gang short titled "The Pinch Singer. The song was sung by Carl "Alfalfa" Switzer and is said to be known as "his signature song." It was delightful.
By the way, you have a great style on the piano, it's my favorite instrument to listen to. And thanks for uploading this great song, what a tribute it is to a very talented actor, Alfalfa.
I love the sounds of this piano and you play beautifully, thanks a lot. Are there any harpsichords or electronic pianos among your collection? Thanks.
This is great, Allen! Alfafa would be proud to have you accompany him. lol
(Another version of this song was done by Spike Jones played in the manner of a striptease. Made you want to dance along, which I have done many times! LOL Cant do that anymore, though. :)TMI??)
There is another wonderful version of this played by UK pianist Mrs Mills, who had an incredible natural talent, just like yours Allen. Tell us more about you! How long have you been playing and how did you learn? You dont use sheet music at the piano, you must have an amasing memory! I have watched most of your videos here and am now an ardent fan. With love from the UK X
David, I will be 46 years old in October of 2008. I have been playing for almost 43 years now. I read very little music, and learn most things by ear.
Allen, you have entertained me all weekend with your incredible talent on the piano. I've watched most of your videos, your quite simply astounding! Now please tell us more about you! How long have you been playing? How did you learn? You don't have sheet music at the piano, you must have an amasing memory! With love from the UK and a few requests that I hope you will record for us. Such as; the Black and White Rag, Side Saddle, Near You, I Love A Piano and, Has Anybody Here Seen Kelly.
David, I have recorded NEAR YOU, BLACK and WHITE RAG, and I LOVE a PIANO on my newest YOUTUBE VIDS. Released about a week ago now. Thanks for the requests. Hugz! XX
I have watched and listened to you play this for over thirty years and I must say it just gets better with age...like a fine wine...Nobody plays this better than you Allen...Thanks for the dedication...Love Ya Man! Jax

nice chords ,nice stride , nice fill ins , but too many predictable runs and too fast for a love song !
nevertheless wish i could play as well then i would slow it down and give it the mood it needs for someone in the mood for love
fingerscarr 3 years ago 2
