    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

      @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!

    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. 🎄🎅☃🎁

    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.
