The best I can say is, a million thanks for doing this! I have never heard a concert version as good; including the Ampico roll frequently heard! You obviously put a lot of thought and hard work into this performance. I also appreciate you publishing some interesting history of the piece and Ms. Jacobs-Bond. Anyway, many thanks and I’d buy you dinner if you were close by. God bless! -N

Your interpretation is absolutely flawless...I thought I was listening to the film version! I will say for the record, there are quite a few people out there that do know and love this film. I watched it years ago and fell in love with the story. Very poignant.

Thank you! I'm glad to hear that there are plenty of other people who are fans of the movie. The story and soundtrack are truly special.

Thanks! Wonderful performance. I picture my grandmother playing this for the silent movies in her home town. She said the films came with music, but it was usually terrible and sometimes the something they sent for the last movie. So, she just played what she wanted that made sense. Will never know if she played this one, but based on its popularity, she probably knew of it.
@RetroPianist 5 күн бұрын
It's so neat that you're related to someone who had that job. Accompanying a silent film like that is a whole separate skill, and not one seen very often these days.

Wonderful! This is an amazing piece. It's full of great melodies that really give a full feeling when playing it. It's nice to hear it played with such a light touch. I usually find a heavier touch fits the piece better but it wounds great either way. The arrangement is great too.

I first heard this song at a USO dance in Sydney in 1944. There was a pretty nurse whom we all had our eyes on but I was lucky enough to snatch her hand for a dance, and this song was playing. I didn't know if I would see her again but I gave her a kiss and promised I would write whenever I came into a port and could mail a letter. After the war I was stationed in Okinawa and wrote to her everyday but I never got a reply. I think of her when I hear this song and hope that she had a good life.

@ Thanks for your response! People, like ourselves, who have a high regard for the wonderful culture of years gone by are fading away. The material evidence of those early twentieth century days is deteriorating. I just lost my piano and most of the rolls in the recent floods. Nothing could be done about it. Keep publishing uplifting material to get me through! Thanks, as always!

This has been one of my favourite piece ever since I first hear it played by Fats Waller. I didn't really notice it much then but always enjoyed it when it came on. Later I used to listen to a lot of Johnny Dodds and his recordings of it was great too. I then heard it played by a band a friend of mine leads. Once I got home I looked up some sheet music for the piece and it's been one of my favourites to play ever since. It's probably got to have one of the most moving melodies of any jazz song and is also great for double time so is always a lot of fun to perform. Great performance here. I really enjoyed it
