Just when you think that humanity is headed for the dumpster along come someone like Tom Brier and you realize there is hope, after all. "Gorgeous" - that's minimally the case.
Stream of consciousness from the brain too your fingertips; handful of people in literature & music posses it; & you've got it Tom, & thank you sir for uploading.
Let me know when you post your part of the folk rag that he improvised just after this. I started recording when your battery or tape ran out, so I'll be sure to post mine as a response to yours, to get as much of that improv together as possible.
Mr. Keeper, I haven't run across it yet, but I suspect it may be on a tape just prior to the one this tune was on. I'll know in a day or two and try to remember to clue you in. There was certainly some hot fun stuff going on and I hated to go to bed, but I was worn to a nub! Ta ta, RJMonkey
@HyperBeniTats If you would bring along the sheet music to a festival that Tom performs at I'll betcha he would love to play it for you. RagJazzMonkey Tom
Hey, is Tom going to the festival this year? If so, I'd love to watch him play. The Red Lion Inn is off Arden Way in Sacramento. I've been there many times.
I Have A Dream, that one day this beautiful waltz shall be transcribed and rest on a lovely piece of paper on my piano...
I may try to write it down.
Joshua Sobel let me know if you do! (He says a year later) 😂
Joshua Sobel
Did you write it down??
Did you transcribe it?
Joshua is the deed done
Why has this so to be so awesome?
This is one of the best waltzes i've ever heard! wow!
I LIKE THE WAY THIS GUY JUST GRABS THE NOTES... I'M LEARNING, END OF! THANX FOR THE INSPIRATION TOM!!
If any moment in music can be captured for eternity make it be this magnificent waltz which, amazingly, was as extemporaneous as was wonderful!
Extraordinary talent !! One of my faves....hope to see him play live some day.
truly inspiring! he makes me want to keep improving my playing. beautiful song!
