I agree. That was awesome. Wish there had of been an overhead shot of the keyboard while he was playing.

Moon's influence on Jerry has been hugely exaggerated.

Man that was great. Sorry I missed the party. Looked like a gas.

Moon mullican was an ancestor of mine.

Really awesome piano history and playing here.

Oh my god! Plastic keys in da domicile!

corrupt file jumpscare

I appreciate the way you tied together Basie, Clifford Scott, Mullican, and Jerry Lee! That's the way an historian should think.

I am entranced !

Oooooooweeeee!

I LOVED IT, please, play some more. Where are you from?

Moon was my great uncle he died when I was 3 but I remember him always

Yah and Moon was my grandmother's brother , who gives a shit people eat this shit up

Thats amazing how you explained it.

Al Stricklin taught u well

Need an Antone's pianorama!

Gawd that's a great cover of a great piano pounder

My mom taught me his songs on piano I'm from Palestine Texas and just loved his tunes pipeline blues one of my favorites

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Jerry Lee the last man standing. 85 years old today. This is a great video, thanks Mr. Domino

Tear it down boy but don't you ruin it, you old piano pounder, man after my own heart . . . with a razor!

I live on Cape Cod my father was from Livingston Texas Moon was my grandmother's brother Arlie Duff my father s cousin brought Patsy Cline into the Industry it was a long time ago lol

Two of the very best!

Is this the same Floyd Domino that played with Merle Haggard for years?

Moons work you can tell he liked country music But he was an inspiration to many CW singers .. I hear many country songs in them Riffs .

Great intro to Eb!🙄 As a string player it is not my favorite key, although it doesn't make much difference on steel guitar. I wrote a couple pieces in Bb just to drive other guitar players nuts.😁

nice

As a DJ at KWKH - I asked The Killer once how much Moon influenced his music. 'Ain't but 2 originals in the music business - & that's me & Al Jolson!' (Moon however, obviously influenced The Killer's style in a major way.)

A musical savant.

Thank you sir for acknowledging what no one ever has.

Can you imagine how cool it must have been to be at that party

I used to wonder what Vince Guaraldi was trying to prove with his affinity for Ab, (Linus & Lucy" & "Cast Your Fate To The Wind"), but "Floyd" is right: you may as well relax and get your feet wet. Tiptoe around for awhile and the chord shapes start to get a little less scary. You may as well learn to play the whole piano. I double on tenor sax, so I had no choice but to be dragged into keys a whole step above the popular "easy" keys from my strictly piano playing comfort zones.It's been good for me, but I did my share of griping along the way.

Wow

Eb is F for a tenor sax player. (Bb of course is the horn man's C). Horn players were the band leaders for a long time. Of course, when guitar players started to dominate, the tenor players had to get comfortable with F# & B (guitar players like E & A). One mildly interesting eccentric was Vince Guaraldi, the cool jazz pianist who had a special affinity for Ab! (?)

moon mo

Bam

daaaammnn! smokin shit.

sensei!!! 😰

Beautiful Interpretation and Good Performance thank you :)

FD is the best . Thanks for the great post . You just keep getting better ... it's hard to believe that original is from 1974 ish.

Marcia and Paul are awesome boogie music!

HA! Nice Kitten on the Keys reference! Love it Floyd! =)

Amos Milburn is almost as unknown today as Moon, Floyd! I loved his bluesy boogie style. One of my most prized possessions is a good copy of Amos' Aladdin 10 inch LP, Rockin' The Boogie.

I wish that he would have gotten a close up to se exactly what your right hand was doing. I just can't figure out those unique runs that Jerry Lee does.

Wow, what a treat listening to two fantastic piano pounders. What style. Wish I could've been at that party!

This is great stuff--it deserves far more hits. Just finished reading the new Jerry Lee Lewis bio, by the way--I highly recommend it to anyone with even a passing interest in this type of music.

Very cool! Thanks!

You do not mess with the Queen of Boojee Woojee.............

she ain't gettin' older... she gettin' BETTER!!

For my entire life, I have been fascinated by truly otherworldly piano players. Until I heard you with Asleep At the Wheel in the 70's, I thought that only stride and swing masters like Tatum, Hines, and Wilson were capable of operating in the other dimension you are in.I also happened upon Neville Dickey whose right hand is as incredible as theirs. You added such depth and definition to Western Swing that I was forced to admit that piano was not in decline, it had just changed voices. Happening upon your videos is a mixed blessing, in that I am constantly reminded of my own inabilities to do anything but marvel at genius. I am cursed with a hyper developed ear and club fingers. Your videos expand my appreciation of that genius you possess. Thanks for the insights.
