These artistes who play with such verve,skill and feeling give the impression that it is sooo easy.When I attempt this it sounds as if the lawnmower-in low gear-is crawling across the keys!Wonderful music!

@Squarerig

And, I'm not quite as good as you are on the piano.

I can't even seem to get the lawnmower in gear.

Hi Lisa,

The following is Carl's answer to me about this performance! - - - -

"Well, it's one of my improvisations - shades of Meade Lux Lewis & other Chicago pianists but really just a stream of consciousness. Call it 'Leyland Boogie'....."
