Marcia rocks as always .My favourite blues and boogie woogie pianist.

[@jeaniewhite9991]

Eden Brent is good also. But Marcia is the Queen of Boogie Woogie

[@rafaelgelpi2718]

2 souls, 3 times the energy and 4 X the connection. That’s Ms Marcia!

[@robinoconnor1406]

This is another wonderful original song by Marcia Ball. I have always loved this one. It doesn't get played enough!

[@jeffreyvilli9268]

Loving Marcia ball in Pittsburgh

[@asdfqwerty7391]

Marcia Ball is totally fantastic. Have been to a number of shows, the lady shines bright! And her sidemen also. Check out the guitar man playing lefty on a right hand guitar.

[@jasantes]

Right hand guitar...? what a moron!!!

[@somobettah]

How I just adore Miss Marcia ❤

[@OKCRay1]

Fun song. I remember hearing Marcia perform it live on an in-studio appearance on WXRT (and I think all of us know a "Big Mouth Louella"!).

[@johanneabelsen1644]

My Mom's younger SISTER was just such a person!😂🤦‍♂️ I called her The Weekly Newspaper! She had a stroke 2 years ago and lives in a home now, so there's probably a new person running around my little hometown, dishing out "information" about this and that! Oh gee....🤦‍♂️😄

[@tomratcliff3755]

I know it's been a minute, but damnnn. Love you since the first I saw you at the rocking horse!

[@YeOldeTowneCryer]

WOW Marcia is amazing on the keys. Awesome song, awesome work on the keyboard.

[@danielsh1015]

Why did you have to make me notice? Took the whole enjoyment out of it, damn it!

Check out the leg! It never stops. Marcia Ball in a nutshell!

[@karencitino2818]

Icing on the cake!....the Obama sticker!!

[@joshuawalker8977]

***** icing? for real? yeesh.

[@morrisonnewton236]

Hello Karen I see happiness all around you, can I please share from it?

[@Lagolop]

So true ...

[@sethameel007]

Found it from Blues Piano 1. Wish there was a tutorial!

[@rodalesc]

I've seen her in person twice and this IS Marcia Ball. Her political leanings either way have nothing to do with the God given talent. Have you ever seen another pianist cross their legs?

[@thomassmith-yu8tz]

Right over left, WOOHOO!!!

[@gaylechapman9153]

who cares who she voted for...that is our right in the USA...doesn't affect her talent or anything else about who she is or why....

[@RonIrelandMusic]

Amen!

[@joesitter20101]

Talented musicians are always intelligent people. Therefore it's no wonder Marcia votes for Democracy. Look at her go!

[@donskoller9505]

you wrote this couple years ago, Joe. Since then the Democrapic became a criminal conspiracy against the best candidate, Bernie Sanders, and Hillary bullied her way in. Go Green, if you see this, Joe, go Jill Stein in '16.

[@therichyalf]

Wish she would perform with Bonnie Raitt!

[@ghoulidee]

who are those horn players? (They piano work is kinda nice, too :-D)

[@janicechiaretto7082]

It should never matter what an artist's political, sexual, racial or social orientation is. Rockin' is Rockiin' - period. Dylan played for Obama. Does that screw you up too? Get over yourselves folks.

[@morrisonnewton236]

Hello I see happiness all around you, can I please share from it?

[@30FMJ]

yeah, I think I`ll minimize the screen and keep listening

[@karencontestabile6064]

She sang with Bettye LaVette...

[@morrisonnewton236]

Hello Karen I see happiness all around you, can I please share from it?

[@bluenote824jones7]

Aaron for president and Marcia for vice president

[@arronjoseph1212]

I was trying to just find one thing I dislike from, Marcia Its impossibal!!!

[@pamelakhalifa]

thinking about you Marcia, you still look good girl ?pamjoy.thought you changed your name.aint google great?

[@morrisonnewton236]

Hello Pamela I see happiness all around you, can I please share from it?

[@tippimail1]

IndyHelis,i thought the same thing. Oh,yeah,hows that whole hope and change thing workin' out?Marcia's music is wonderful,tho.

[@3rdPR]

+tippimail1 It's working great

[@donnabushek8882]

GET DOWN

[@armandoflores5297]

great artist should be shard by all,not only with the chosen few.party lines,social status.sexual preferance have no real calling here. having said this,back in the 70'smy brother came home with a record of the original texas playboys which featured marcia on a song called texas blues. someone should share this awesome number. if they can get beyond politics,society'and or sex. my god human beings are disguisting.

[@daxbradley4346]

Who gives a f*ck about her political leanings? Good music is good music. If you refuse to enjoy someone's creation because of how they think/vote, whether you are left or right-leaning, you're missing out. I caught this performer at BB Kings on Beale, and loved every minute. Marcia rules.

[@rzrbkgrl]

Obama sticker on her keyboard. I love Marcia Ball... but I wonder if any of this "change" he promised us is affecting her healthcare in anyway?

[@mariagheorghe7139]

That keyboard has a cheap sound. Marcia deserves a baby grand.

[@GFWoll]

She is awesome, to bad she has that Obama sticker on the piano, it's sort of a buzz kill...

[@pab1941]

The music is still great despite the sticker. Grow up.....

[@ChillyIzzaWimp]

Sorry, and a bit sad that you'd allow a silly thing like that to kill your buzz. We only go around once in life, so grab for all the gusto you can, while you can.

[@adamcottingham6260]

I would have became a big fan had I not had the Obama sticker shoved down my throat
