Dorothy Motto's Left Hand Stride Style 20 Minute Demo with 1920's Revu

Dorothy's left hand stride piano styling is shown clearly here at a camera angle 45 degrees up from center as we can see clearly down upon her moving hands. A number of famous tunes are covered in this studio session on her Technics PR903 digital piano ensemble in 2013 at age 78.



From 2013, Dorothy and Rick played many "Rick and Dorothy Piano-Keyboard Hour" shows for retirement residences around the valley, the Greater Phoenix Area, Arizona... until 2019 at Dorothy's age 84. Dorothy passed on peacefully at home on Jan. 16, 2025 at 90.

Rick is currently putting  together a new CD from a dozen 3.5" floppy discs that Dorothy recorded on her Technics PR903, a top of the line digital piano ensemble, a type of instrument that Dorothy sold throughout her sales-awarded career with Schroeder's Organ and Piano and Fletcher Music Centers.

This Blogger.com blog page no longer hosts videos Rick can see with his MacG4 TenFourFox browser, and he can no longer post to Youtube with that dated desktop browser either so he has archived the following demo by Dorothy at Archive.org for download in a variety of formats including H.264, the latest "best" format (?!), and Quicktime. Clicking on the image will take you to that download page. It's 56 MB and plays for 15 minutes.
