I can't wait to get home and try this haha.. hmm seems like theres a cut in there?

@LudwigVonKoopa64

Yeah, about the cut. I remember when I was editing the tape, I had it all strung out all over the dining room table and spilled some chicken gravy on part of it, and some of it got a bit tangled up with pieces of chicken gizzard and liver, so I had to just cut that part out and glue it back together with Elmers all purpose glue. Then I had to wait for 3 days for it to dry so I could finish my editing.

@tdub1941 haha.. thats funny! chicken gravy and gizzards... :P well at least it didnt get completely destroyed!.. I originally thought "wow.. did adam actually mess up and get stumped in the middle of a song?" lol..

[tdub1941]

@LudwigVonKoopa64

Nope, it couldn't have been Adam messing up! Adam is a pianistic messiah and HE never messes up. I've heard him play 47 million 32 thousand and 666 songs, and not once have I ever heard him so much as miss one note or play one song with anything less than perfect perfection. ;-)

I have the sheet music to this one (a transcription by Tom Brier of Thompson's original recording) and it is as HARD AS HELL! Not impossible, mind you, just tricky! That's too bad, because Adam makes it look really fun to play here! Oh well I guess I just need to practice!

[tdub1941]

Yup, Mr. Adam really knocks it out!

Fantastic. Gotta love it.

@tdub1941 hmm.. thats just weird.. i cant play one song without messing up at least one or... 100 notes lol..
