Allen Dale-Christmas Medley

[hiroyasu4]

I can sing all these songs maybe.

I don't know why the Jazz piano gives me pleasure. But, It's fantastic at any rate. 

[hopnbob2941]

always a blast to watch (& listen) to you play :) May 2012 be better (at least as good) as 2011 :) happy New Year!

[allendale1962]

Allen Dale,

my name is Joao, I'm from Brazil, and I just would like to say how much I appreciate your work. I play the piano as well, there's kind a long time, and your songs give me inspiration to create a lot of great things. Can't believe I spent a month in Illinois and didn't contact you, hope to, some day, be able have a talk with you. Thank you for all the good moments you provide for my ears.

Joao (John)

[lydon65]

You are incredibly talented...

[allendale1962]

thanks

[tubby250]

Hey, Allen. Love your playing! Wow, what a touch. I'm sure you've been asked this before, but if you don't mind my asking, what kind of training did you have on the piano? Formal lessons? Have you played professionally for theater companies, orchestras, concerts, etc.? Answer only what you feel comfortable answering. Thanks!

[allendale1962]

Tubby, I have played pro for 43 years now. I used to work on the Delta Queen Steamboats as well as the Belle of Louisville, and Julia Belle Swain. I have on occasion performed with bands. I had about 3 years tottal of music lessons. I play better by ear. I also hate classical music. thanks.

[FreonUWP]

Casey's Corner at Disney's the Magic Kingdom, and Disney Land, CA are my favorite places. Nothing like live music coming from a twangy piano on Main Street. If you ever get old enough to retire, you could trade your spinet in for a pinstripe piano and the warmth of Orlando!

[Eleyellmer]

thanks, I had nice christmas^^

[allendale1962]

thanks

[CristianTari]

very nice medley, i think i'm gonna listen this master piece several times these days. Thanks for your great job Allen.

[allendale1962]

Thank you!

[tablloyd5]

"I've no idea what I'm going to play..." and you proceed to play better than most who say, "Now I'm going to play..."

What a talent you have, God has blessed you, and us by your posting on Youtube. Keep up the great work -- Merry Christmas to you.

Jerry

I think every family could use an allen dale for the holidays. It would be great to play this on christmas day for all the relatives.

[allendale1962]

[scotjamiesonpiano]

You should be cloned and set up in every department store with a cup of eggnog at the handy end of the keyboard, and the Christmas Spirit would soar! Very enjoyable!
