    No showing off, just walks up to the piano plays like a pro then just walks away. Your fingers are magic, that was wonderful just the uplift I needed. Thank you so much, Michael, loved it.

    The piano has a nice ragtime sound tune to it. The song sounds good on this piano.

    George Harrison is one of the many famouse legends who states that spiritual beings have many human experiences in the physical body so there is a possibilty that Winnie has chosen to have an other physical human experience to further her learning whilst bringing her brilliant unmistakable music back again.Music like Winnies is just too awsome to fade away.Its Mikes soul purpose to play this music.Either way this music was meant to bring joy to the world and thats why it will hopefully continue!

    You do an AWESOME job with this. Winnie would be VERY proud! There will never be another like her. In my opinion, her rag and honk-tonk playing was flawless. She could play with such precision, and with such ease. That said, you do an incredible job young man, and it is great to see a gifted young person keeping her music alive. Keep it up man!

    Despite what certain sight-only musicians may say, a true musician has to be able to play by ear. I could not imagine what it must be like to be utterly unable to play without sheet music. Your ability and musicianship are exceptional.

      Yes. It's very tough doing the left hand to this kind of music because of all the quick back and forth from bass not to chord.
