    Love that the piano is so versatile and can play so many different styles of music - like Children by Robert Miles. An high energy EDM Electronic Dance Music from the 90s with loads of bass, first transitions and vibing and vibrations! Can just let go and throw all kinds of moves and shapes, not just on the dance floor but on the keys! This is from Battersea Power Station when I visited it last year and loads of other pianists randomly turned up too (although this is before most turned up).

    FANTASTIC COLE, As I often do, I echo everything that Don has said in his comments (we oldies tend to think alike). This was the original "Children" but nothing you ever play goes without that unique Cole Lam arrangement and I can't think that Robert Miles would have wanted you to change anything. A lengthy piece but of course excellent for this setting as it gave time for the crowds to assemble. Who can fail to be impressed, I really wish that I had been there with you to watch and listen to you live that day. Do let me know if you are going to Battersea again. It is no problem for me getting there.

    This may be up there with November Rain with your other iconic covers. It wasn't just a great crowd, but some were litterly jumping for joy. Quite an experience for those lucky enough to be there. Here you are, 16, and you are creating the excitement that drives the clubbing scene ala Studio 54 in its day. And, from an upright. Someday, your crowd will start dancing as soon as you play. You MUST do this with electronic effects even though you generated a few kilowatts here. Whatta boy!

I still think it's in your top five all the time. How would you rank it? On the other hand, it's hard to rank your own children!!!
