Very nice interpretation, and yes, you can definately detect a hint of Shearing creeping in. Well done. 5*

Thanks. the piano was badly in need of tuning. It's done now.

Thank you, Mike

Oh well Ken, catching up on another of your old videos, and very nice it was too. If you want to hear out of tune check out my friend Pepe aka handsomepianist. I feel sorry for him as it cost too much for him to get his piano tuned and he is a useful pianist. Anyway, all the best.

Thank you. It is a good piano, but it goes out of tune easily.

Incredible Ken, sounds fantastic on the acoustic piano.

now that you pointed it out, yes! it's all part of the charm of playing a real piano.

Thank you Russ. I have never tried recording a real piano before, I usually use a digital one. Did you hear the pedal squeaking?
