Oh You Turkey!" is one of the nearly 20 rags Henry Lodge wrote. The original sheet music has a funny picture of a woman on the dance floor with her partner, a human-sized turkey. I hope you like this second song in my Thanksgiving series.
Okay, now I get it. Leander is actually 45 years old, he just looks young! Just kidding, friend, and it's because I can't understand how you do it. New songs come out of your videos like water from a faucet. You bring me and so many others a lot of happiness with your playing and your smiles! Know that you are loved by many! 🤗🤗 Thank you! Jerry
wow thats a great Trotting song , I found myself trotting all day trotting here and trotting there was fun , I think I will trot again ,,, thanks for the fun!!!:) oh and HAPPY THANKSGIVING KIDO ...
Loved that! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻. really like your program notes in your pins and your amazing way of being able to play the heck out of everything you do while looking at the camera and smiling.😊😊😊😊. That brings your fans right in!👌👌👏🏻👏🏻🎹🎹🎵🎵
@@Leander-piano Temptation Rag is also enjoying a renewed surge in popularity because it was featured in The Joker (2019). All the more reason you should give that one a try.
@Leander-piano you're a little young for it. There's a lot of gore, profanity, etc. But maybe when you're allowed to watch R rated movies. 😉 But yes, Temptation Rag is truly one of his best! Another one you might enjoy is Red Pepper. It's another fun one, and one of my personal favorites! Cheers
Hi, little buddy. I've been feeling kind of down today, and this song was a great pick-me-up. Besides that, the joy shown on your face is absolutely magical. I'm glad you have people who take care of you and enable you to be happy. Don't forget, if you can create something like an Amazon wish list, I really would like to send you something as a Christmas gift. I'm pretty sure those will allow you to protect your identity and location. And Christmas is one month (corrected, not week) from today. 🎄🎅☃🎁
I have been watching these video's all day. I live with depression and anxiety and my mother has recently gone into a nursing home with Dementia and a brain tumour and can no longer communicate. Tough times, but watching this channel today has made me smile !
Where did you get that sore under your nose? Better take care of it. I know you are too young to shave! :o) Excellent Piano playing! You have a wonderful memory for memorizing piano music!
Watching you play today reminded me of when I was at music college (a long time ago) one of my tutors was Joseph Horovitz and when he played the piano (we were studying harmony and improvisation) he used to look at us smiling instead of looking at the piano. What made it funnier was that he smoked all the time but he didnt have the cigarette in his mouth he used a long cigarette holder.
WOW! -- How terms have changed over the years. -- Calling someone a "turkey" today means a totally different venue --- I hope you're feeling better, Sweetheart ❤ (Don't get sick anymore ! )
Love your playing Leander. A great Thanksgiving song is Alice's Restaurant. Check this out if you can - Arlo Guthrie - Alice's Restaurant (Live at Farm Aid 2005)
A local radio station (WHMI 93.5FM) plays the full version each year.@23mins. "The Alice's Restaurant Massacree Movement" is the way Arlo Guthrie pronounces it. They play it about 10am est. in case anyone wants to check it on their computer.They cast online.
@@bryduhbikeguy Thanks. Where do you live? I live in New Jersey but will be driving to Connecticut around 10am on Thanksgiving. Maybe I will try to find it? 🎹🙂

I love it, Leander. What a wonderful way to start my day...listening to you play and seeing your smile!!!
I continue to be amazed!!
Fashionable dance of the Time, danced by Vernon and Irene Castle!
I can just see them doing the Castle Walk. Thanks for the memory of the Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers film!
I'm impressed you don't need to keep looking at the keys!

❤ your 🦃 rag! Thanks.
That style of music suits you (and your piano!) so well. Thanks for making me smile!
Ragtime is definitely Leander’s happy place 👍
👍🤩 Le Roi du Rag ! 🤴🤗🥰❤️
Tremendous fun, Leander! As much as I enjoy your music, when you smile, I have to smile as well. Thank you! ❤
Ragtime!
A very catchy tune leander 😊😊😊😊
Another great piece I've never heard before....here in Germany we don't harm any turkeys at thanksgiving...most of the time LOL
Ein guter Witz.
What a fun tune, Leander! Never heard this one before and the graphic on the sheet music is a hoot! You're making Thanksgiving very special this year
Henry Lodge is a great composer. His Temptation Rag is one of my very favourites. Nice to hear some more of his work. Great performance!
Thank you. I haven't heard Temptation Rag yet but I will listen to it.
@ Tom Brier did a great recording of it adding a few simple voicings to really improve on it and some marvellous heavy chords

@@SebTheMusician Oh that's interesting.
I have not watched that movie.
I will definitely listen to the song today.

But yes, Temptation Rag is truly one of his best! Another one you might enjoy is Red Pepper. It's another fun one, and one of my personal favorites!

How do you make your fingers land on the correct keys every time - even when looking away.
Like magic!
Wonderfully goobely 😂
Great job like all you do!!!!
Your music 🎶 🎵 is great keep the great work
Thanks Leander! I think your timing gets better with every song you play. Keep up the splendid job!
étonnant , comme toujours !
Just breathtakingly beautiful.... I don't know how you do it but your technical mastery is par excellence... God bless you
Great job, Leander, as usual! Love watching you play.

One month! 😁😊 You panicked me for a moment there.
@@rebecca120xmany Oops. Sorry about that!
@@rogerhunter5404 I will ask my parents to help me do that
Q: What are turkeys thankful for? A: Vegetarians.
😂
Your videos always make me smile. I laughed when I saw the title of this tune and the picture! I am truly enjoying your Thanksgiving series.
Well done I really enjoy this one. 😊
I have been watching these video's all day. I live with depression and anxiety and my mother has recently gone into a nursing home with Dementia and a brain tumour and can no longer communicate. Tough times, but watching this channel today has made me smile !
I am sad that your mother is not doing well but I am glad that the videos I made helped you feel a little better.
Thank you for telling me that.
I really liked this song Leander 😃👍🫂 very very good as always my little buddy 🥰
😊 nice that you play this song for Thanksgiving. Happy Thanksgiving to all of you Ameican neighbours, especially Leander.
Where did you get that sore under your nose? Better take care of it. I know you are too young to shave! :o) Excellent Piano playing! You have a wonderful memory for memorizing piano music!
Thanks buddy, that was a really fun tune 🤩
My favorite so far
Wow! So glad that you are keeping this great old music alive! Such a gift you have!

That was just wonderful!
I loved the turkeys on the music rest too 👍
Great job! And all from memory!!
Such fun!
Wonderful Leander!
Excellent! And you have recovered. Double excellent!! ❤️
Great song thanks Leander 🙏

I just love watching and hearing you play. One of my favorites is Red Rose Rag by Percy Wenrich. Request???
great playing keep it up oung man oh and try and get someone to fix the broken key
WOW! -- How terms have changed over the years. -- Calling someone a "turkey" today means a totally different venue --- I hope you're feeling better, Sweetheart ❤ (Don't get sick anymore ! )
I am feeling a lot better.
I am not sick anymore but my mouth still hurts a little from the mangos.
@@Leander-piano You'll learn Old Grandpas always worry -- It's good seeing you smile again ! 😂
Great skills young man! Thanks for sharing your talent with us.
And there's a dance called the Turkey Trot!
I found two people dancing the Turkey Trot on UA-cam. I tried to share it with you but didn't know how to do it.
You stole my thunder Janice 😄Indeed there was, danced by Vernon and Irene Castle, not much to it though!🧐
@@janicemahan4772I will look it up and watch
@johntyjp Yeah, when I watched the couple dance it, there wasn't any pizzaz.
@@janicemahan4772 never mind I could find it . Just meant walking together in a jaunty way, what else could they do in those fashionable clothes then😄
‘Love the selection, Leander! 👏🏻👏🏻🎹
Leander is a genius for his ability to memorize so many challenging pieces, so fast. How does he do it?
Leander - how about a fun version of Turkey in the Straw?
Oh Yeah ragtime Turkey✌️❤️
Love it! Thank you for brightening my day. 🌞
Well done! 👏
Enjoying the holiday shows. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I love it! So much fun 😁
Boy, wait 'til this kid learns to sing some of the great old songs from that era…
Leander u are so cute. Never stop smiling. You are so gifted and special. ❤😊 Happy 🦃 day!
Wow! Amazing!
I got the feeling you really like this song. It does have a catchy melody. Good job.
Brilliant. ❤

Keep um coming!!
Amazing !!!
Another fun tune Leander. Thank you. Happy Thanksgiving to you, yours, and the fans worldwide too.
I’m amazed at how often you post new videos
Incredible as always !
Does the boy read music ?🎉
Yes, he has learned to read music.
I mean, I like the songs and all, but really, what is the deal with this kid?
I don't understand what you mean but I am glad you like the songs
