Dorothy Motto's Piano&Keyboard Method-- 5 min Samba Medley in 2014

Cumana, Cimone, and Tico Tico

Rick's commentary-- In 2014 at ages 57 and 79, I still considered her songs as HER songs, not my songs... and vice versa... so I didn't pay a LOT of attention to exactly how she set up her sets. Now, in retrospect, looking at her books more carefully, it turns out she labelled these Latin tunes under Liberace who she admires... and probably still does since she's meeting up with his spirit in the quantum realm, more than likely, in my opinion. I had not fully engaged us into the Rick and Dorothy Piano Keyboard Show at this point, yet, preferring to use that as just one of a number of modes. This particular mode, however, with Dorothy on keyboard to the left of her piano and the 88 key piano in front of her goes a long way back for her in Phoenix restaurant gigs. It's easier to set up than a lot of other setups and I have that in my studio as I write this. . Dorothy's Samba Set 5 min on Youtube
