  • It's being played in a church!

  • Yes It is!

    Praise the Lord Jesus up in the sky!

    Hallelujah & roll in the isles!

    Ain't it great!

  • @tdub1941 They'd be rolling the aisles, not the isles (unless there are small islands among the pews.) Yay for homonyms! Words mean things :)

  • @talory

    You got me on that one. I wasn't paying close attention and goofed up. Yes, I do know the difference.

  • You have chops - I'll give you that - but one suggestion:

    Embelishing is one thing - but at least if you're going to do it - play the right melody....embelish...don't change the melody

  • @tdub1941 wasnt Frances Scott Key a poet? aside from being in the war of 1812, he wrote poetry... star spangled banner was put to a previously existing english bar song...

see all

  • He plays with his mouh open like me; I do not feel alone :D.

  • Les Dawsonesque more than Les Dawson even. Brilliant!

  • Very high tempo changes the character of this music! This is like a Guinness record for high speed akkordeon . He can play piano like a virtuose, but the cat is shooting over the piano keys. Zez made this composition for an intention of the sound what a real cat make by walking over keys.

  • Hey Perfessor...haven't seen you in some years...Barbara

  • He isn't changing the melody. The only time he's deviating significantly from the score are on the vamp and breaks, same as anyone else would. Bill is an historian; he knows what he's doing.
