@MrHumbugz Absolutely - the piano has a messiness about it, but it is far from accidental. I don't know of any other examples of that overall style of sound.
Thanks for putting more of your music on-line for us. Great to hear your playing again. About a minute into this, I suddenly heard what you're doing with the bass ... extraordinary!
Man that's great. Really impressed with your left hand work, mine's like a dolphin's flipper flopping about compared to that. Right hand, fancy stuff, left hand, basic bass notes. lol
Yes, mate, that really IS quite amazing. Well done. You might find the odd Dury drum cover on my channel, and if you ever want some proper drums over the top or a meet one day , then I would be very pleased to meet you. I am in the SW, and I am great Dury/Blockheads and indeed music fan. Cheers
Well done as always. Time to hone those vocals. Some vocal exercises and in 2 months you will see an incredible difference. I hesitate to say that because your piano is SO awesome, but you are a smart man and you can bring them up some. Fun song!
Why does the tone sound different?

Ahm, I wanted to give it a shot to play, but you've transposed.

@evkessel020675 Sorry about that. It's impossible to form that top chord quickly enough in F - and the whole thing just doesn't sound as good in G.

If Carlsberg made pianists, they'd probably make Paul Wells.
If only I could persuade him to give lessons...
Great bassline played originally by a family friend - Norman Watt-Roy

would you consider your talent to be practice or god given, cause im pretty sure even after 50 years of practicing i could never be this good
