Two-fer Tuesday: A Little Boogie Woogie
Expected — from phenomenal pianist Henry Gray:
I had the distinct honor of meeting Henry Gray in 2009, hearing him play, and him at work. Lovely man.
Unexpected:
I’m so sad that I only got to visit the Liberace Museum once for a cabaret showcase right when I moved to the Vegas. If you’re amenable to it, they are taking donations to help preserve the collection and find it a permanent home. It’s worth it. Sincerely, to see the shoes and the costumes and the piano and everything else…this is a sight to behold.
And one of my favorites — the Queen of Boogie Woogie, Ms. Sue Palmer! Special guest, Steve Lucky (of Steve Lucky & the Rhumba Bums, who I also enjoy):
I was going to say Liberace FTW, cuz dude can tinkle some *serious* ivories. But Palmer and Lucky take the whole enchilda here! Damn that was good! Stealing it forthwith…
:may:

I love Liberace. Wish I could have seen him live and in person!
Now, I have seen all the others perform and they’re all fantastic! Hard for me to choose just one, so I won’t.

Try playing these for the girls, Deb. Betcha they’re dancing up a storm (and getting worn out before bedtime!!)
