I received lyrics, put it to music and posted this the same day. (and yes, I know it’s more shuffle than blues. Get over it). Here are the lyrics: PIANO CRAZY BLUES: by Dr. Lindyke ————————————– You took me for what I am Any request played on demand And for what it’s worth You really don’t fit in my plans And just so you know Real dreams happen when awake ’cause nothing comes between me And my faithful Steinway Now along here come These piano crazy blues And if you really plan to leave You don’t win, you only lose And no matter who you are And no matter what you do Everyone from time to time Gets those piano crazy blues I’ve got these seven chords And I gave them all to you But I found a life-long friend Who’ll never forsake me like so many do And no matter who you are And no matter what you do Everyone from time to time Gets those piano crazy blues Everyone from time to time Gets those piano crazy blues

More on blues in my book: bit.ly A blues piano tutorial covering a versatile right-hand lick (or riff) in the key of C. This lick is also pretty useful in keys that have a lot of white notes, such as F and G. It’s “locked” within a single octave of the piano, and is based on four basic chord shapes that fall easily under the right hand. You can play it over any 12-bar chord progression with most blues and boogie woogie left-hand styles. It’s also very adaptable, and can be used in other piano blues styles, as well as genres like rock and roll and funk.

Karl Schröder performing a song off of a 1920′s era Clark Orchestra A roll player piano roll that he heard as a young man. A better quality el cheapo camera than I used last time with a little bit better audio… I’ll get there yet. Karl tried to explain to me that on this song he doesn’t play out of a certain key range because the original piano was 61 notes? Something also about other instruments on the piano would not play right if you strayed to far out of the key of C? Apparently, most, but not all of the Clark rolls were in C? Anyway, he just wanted to play and I just wanted to enjoy it… hope you do too!!
