Tinkering with New Orleans Piano style

Never been to New Orleans, never met the great players they had/have down there, but do like the twisted and playful style they have developed.
This is a leftover of today's session, without plan and practice, just a handful of ideas.

Possible; as I am not that good in certain keys like Eb or Ab - I do like the sound but can hardly improvise there, as I did here. Advantage for digital piano players!

I know it is a bad and maybe even 'cheap' habit and does not follow the logic/finger settings of the original composer in many cases ("Pixie", "Keep On Gwine", "Sunny Side of the Street" by Booker) - the price for musical mediocrity I guess.

Try Taylor's "I Can't Sleep" in E - a nightmare to me, so I use F, voila!

Well, I love it! Keep up the good video's - it is so cool you can just get on youtube and watch people play and learn a million licks that seem totally new to me!
