This was spot-on beautiful, and you handled Clarence's part wonderfully, and at the end I was able to pick it up and sing along to your music at the end... I even got in the Jungleland howls. Tonight was my first time hearing this, and I'm willing to bet in the next 5 years I'll have listened to it a thousand times. I'll loop it and play it while I work on the computer. It's the perfect companion song where you can enjoy it over and over and over. Please - don't get me anything for my birthday, this song will be enough. Thank You.

I ve seen Springsteen and his band alive and i can say to you that the main pianist is the top of piano players So this leads me to say that the songs he produces on the keyboard are super hard and requires a lot of technique and time. to play Springsteen songs you need really to have patience to do so. I consider jungleland and point blank hardest to play than chopin and bethoveen . Very few people play chopin so you can see how good you are. Hardest than this just dire straits tunel of love or sultans of swing . So as a piano player i can only say that you are very good and you practicse a lot . Not everybody has patience to play a 9.30 minute song. So congratulations you made my day and keep the rythm

@josephsliker21344 жыл бұрын
Thank you for the suggestion. I will look into it. Although I had not attempted (seriously) to learn to play an instrument until my retirement I've (finally) found a very good teacher who is tolerant of my impatience with "mere" exercises (I do some) and helps me break favorite, short pieces that I love into manageable, parts. I'm getting close to being able to recognizably play some short Tom Waits pieces, but I there are many Springsteen pieces that I'd love to do to (I think Roy Bittan's piano that underlies many of these may be a big part of it). Roy Bittan's "Rider's in the Night" is also way up there.

@@josephsliker2134 Kudos for getting started now! So let me tell you a bit about my story...when I was 12, I was determined to play the Grieg Concerto. I had an accommodating teacher who didn't make me do the exercises that I hated so much. I made progress though sheer willpower, but couldn't quite get it right. I changed piano teachers and my new teacher busted me back down to the beginning and made me do all the exercises. I came back to the Grieg a year later and it was a completely different experience. Having that foundation is so important and is a very worthwhile investment. That foundation helped me play Jungleland with a lot less effort than you might guess. I'm now on the popular music faculty at USC Thornton and I still keep my very tattered copy of Hanon with me. Matter of fact, I've been recovering from a mild injury and just pulled out the Hanon this morning to help with my recovery. It's good stuff :)

What an amazing why to listen to this song. I never heard it done like this before. I enjoyed it very much. You are a fantastic piano player Great job. Am a 64 year old man I grew up in north Philly in the 60s 70s. A teenager living in Philadelphia pa. I was lucky to have lived in a city and being a teenager at that time and place. I saw all the big rock bands. So I have listened to Bruce Springsteen my whole life saw him 4 times. Saw THE WHO 5 TIME'S. Sir this piano playing you did truly is fantastic. Great job.

Thank you so much for your kind comment! I'm still in my 20's, but I appreciate much of the same music. I've seen Bruce 3 times and I did get to see The Who once :)

@@michaelarrom94 Mike if you are good am going to let you know. And Mike you are an amazing piano player. Have you ever checked out Billy Joel. He is the piano man I used to listen to him everyday and night back in the 70s. And Mike dude you have great taste for music.

@@JimWelsh-f6l Hi Jim, Thanks for sharing the good word about Billy Joel. It's surprising that there are young people who don't know anything about him. Lol, I'm not one of them ;) Billy was one of my earliest inspirations to study piano. His musical director is one of my closest mentors. Check out the rest of my page for a few other Billy covers... kzbin.info/www/bejne/oIK1aXmFfNeIZ68
