I - bVII - IV - I
My piano version: (straight piano the first time through... singng next time) I have the chart music for this if you're taking lessons. The interesting chord change is I-bVII-IV-I and I-bVII-IV-V. Try that chord change in various keys. I don't know why I-bVII works so well but it does. All other chord changes are standard... you've seen them before. The pounding of the 5 of I to engage in the chorus is interesting. I'll examine that in the next few days.

Video uploads of my "practise sessions" might make for decent reality TV comedy.
I'm percolating a new idea. I'll play with it and see how it goes if we don't get nuclear war first.
[That's All performed by me] The ending is especially interesting.

That's All.
I'll try to play my version of THAT'S ALL at Golden Buddha tonite... so c'mon down and sing along or just enjoy my interpretation. I LIKELY won't sing it yet but I'm attempting to record it on video and upload it for this blog.
I haven't really gone through the chord changes in detail yet, but it's nifty-- whatever is going on there. I hear an echo of it from Rod Stewart, the 1970's rock star who has done amazing things over the past ten years with his versions of old standards.
[Rod Stewart's version]
[Eugene Portman] Piano version. 4 min. Straight piano, excellent. Some altered chords I'm not even doing. Fancier than it has to be. Video pcis don't make much sense although the pictures of wine bottles are good. I can't teach you to do it this way... this pianist is MY teacher... just to give you an idea of my own level of play.

ITALIAN COMPOSERS - Ponchielli - Dance of the Hours.
[10 mini Youtube with no ads] This video is nicely done with the full orchestral version of Dance of the Hours, complete with photos of Ponchieli through his life. I think I I first heard this them used on a Saturday morning cartoon while growing up in the 1960's in Ontario, Canada.
I have a copy of the main theme in easy piano without chords... although it's fairly easy to install the chords. I'll assign someone that tasks.

Bumble Boogie
[+]
I continue to work on Bubmble Boogie for a showpiece in the later evenings at Golden Buddha...if appropriate.. Heres a version of it. My own version is a bit less than this. If you're interested in learning to play it, we can simplify it quite a bit. Again, the key to it is understanding the chords-- and once you do that you can make up anything that resembles it and pull it off for most listeners.
Continued in the dicussion forum. (Nobody I teach has taken up Bumble Boogie yet.)
