Great Job Budo !!!!
I really like this piece with its fast-paced rhythm that vaguely recalls life in the smoky bars where the blues was born.
Really great work.

Thank you budo so much! Very nice how you could take me to different places (sections) in this peace, I got my self immersed in the music, totally involved in the music and forgot time and place….For example 1,52 - 2,30 and 3,50 - 4,20…… Love it!

I love how you express yourself through music!  And nice ending, great last chord. Wow!

You mentioned ”….so very sentimental
Well, I remember this one,  you might have missed it, ”I’m getting sentimental over you”. Here my version with Steinway B, how do you like it?   Would be nice to listen to your version, your style,  if you have not played it before…

thank you so much Stig.  i'm really happy that this caught your ear and drew you in so much.   that is a great thing to hear.

i had missed your version of I'm Getting Sentimental ..." and i'm glad you linked it here.  i thought it was really great ... lots of movement and emotion.  the little detour at the end was unexpected but was a lot of fun for the listener.

i actually have recorded it myself, a while ago.  it's another tune i've always liked to play.  here's that version https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ii5D6_Smruc
