The Old Piano Roll Blues

[@FunNotNuts]

Here I am at 6:30 am, it's still dark outside, very cold here in Ontario. All is peaceful. The jack russell sleeps. I'm flipping around on the internet for good music and choose this because of the title. My God was I lifted!! I mean I wanted to crank this up to the ceiling! (unfortunately I have neighbours very near...shhhhh) This was an exceptional piece of work!! What a lovely thing you have brought from within yourself. Shine on baby. You've got what it takes.

[@daytripperyeah]

Just a sittin at an upright, my sweetie and me, pushin on the pedals makin sweet harmony......I want to hear it again, I want to hear it again, the old piano roll blues!

[@mikewoollett]

Thank you very much. I have just been watching you play-quite an honour to have you think so!

[@larzkins]

You are a blessing from above Mike! You make me very happy watching and listening to this - Lauren, a Texan

[@theblackbelle]

Just wat you to know, Mike. I hope you don't mind, but used this amazing song to create a silent film for my best friend's college project. She got an A+ and the video was the best in the class.

[@shaneht1968]

Great stuff, keep em comin, i never heard of this tune before till i seen big tiny little and Jo ann Castle playing it together on the Lawrence Welk show from 50 years ago (thanks to youtube) never see such GREAT entertainment now days.

[@hkg02161954]

Fantastic playaing...and love the hat Harvey/USA

[@keepitsimpleengineer]

I listened to your rendition 20 minutes ago and my foot is still tapping. ☺

[@mikewoollett]

Thanks for the kind comment-I'm glad you enjoyed. Ragtime is wonderful!

[@bbxx44]

That's just great. For some reason I remembered this song from when I was a kid and did a search for it on here. What a treat to see and hear your great rendition. The black and white is a nice touch as well. Thanks.

[@mikewoollett]

@sisterfelix I'm so pleased it arrived. I was at the post office this afternoon mailing a few more cds-I inquired as to how long it would take. Apparently delivery to USA is quite quick but it is the actual delivery once there that is the hold up!! Glad the cd turned up-finally. Best wishes-thanks for your support.

[@mikewoollett]

I've never heard of Adam before. I just checked some of his videos out.....he's fantastic! Thanks for bringing him to my attention :-)

[@mikewoollett]

Joanie thank you so much!! You have just cheered me up-I'm having a rotten day. Just received some bad news. Will send you a message in the next couple of days and tell you about it. Leaving now to play for a church fete (gee I hope the church doesn't fall down when it sees me!!!)

[@vimana19pianomedley]

I am in love with that tune Mike and you play it so well, but sorry I have not got back to you with the book after the house fire, still reeling. Our piano and church organ were destroyed in the fire, but we're still safe and glad to see that you are too my friend. Will speak again when I am back up and gunning...

[@sturdleyburdeux]

Just wonderful Mike. You are a joy to listen to and to watch. A perfect marriage of man, music, and machine! Great touch and feel.

[@honkytonkpiano]

Well played, Mike! Most enjoyable piece of ivory-bashing! Best regards, 'Another Ivory Basher'

[@mikewoollett]

I hope you are keeping safe and well and hopefully stating to get back on top of things.....

[@mikewoollett]

Couldn't ask for a better compliment than that...thank you so much :-)

[@CherylSimser]

Just lovely and wonderful (meaning full of wonder), oh and I like your hat too!

[@BroBri]

Awesome arrangement of one of my favorite songs!

[@mikewoollett]

Thank you.....I'm glad you enjoyed my performance!

[@nathan1050]

Thank you for posting this...I love the ragtime piano....you are wonderful...

[@art4969]

Please bring back the good old days

[@mikewoollett]

@joomuck Thanks for enjoying & taking the time to comment Ted. Hope you have a happy New Year!

[@mikewoollett]

Oh yeh great old number. Thanks for enjoying!

[@Music_is_Breathing]

Super version!!!! Really excellent! My day used to play this, and his left hand sounded very much like yours--it made me feel good hearing someone else do that :)

[@hickrystyk]

Nice job....This is one of my Mothers favorites to play

[@frbjoernLA]

Mike, you shouldn't write something like that. You have a God given talent at the Piano with a heartwarming personality. Please don't let negative comments drag you down.

[@mikewoollett]

@Praisegrrl Thank you so much......I'm glad you enjoyed this one!

[@mikewoollett]

@cadillac2003007 I'm so glad my music is being enjoyed! "A Little Sentimental" is my favourite album. However if it is lively uptempo numbers you're after then you can't go past "Make It A Party With Mike".

[@mikewoollett]

@larzkins Thank you so much for such a wonderful comment. Best wishes.

[@Music_is_Breathing]

You are fabulous!! I hope your career is everthing you want it to be. My Dad played by ear, too, no wonder there is a similarity in style :)

[@mikewoollett]

Thank you so much-that's a very big compliment. Thanks for enjoying-Merry Christmas.

[@carolineamber707]

Love the music. Thank you for posting.

[@Socatajim]

There is just no end to your talents Mike! :-)

[@pyannaguy]

Nice, Mike! I haven't had a chance to view all of your clips, but have you ever posted some up-tempo Boogie Woogie? I'm guessing you're a fan because you put up some Winifred A. and along with the stride and all the rest - she could boogie like a fast train in a hurricane!

[@Tina247Turner]

very well done!

[@mikewoollett]

@sisterfelix Hhmmm don't know what the hold up could be. Sometimes there seems to be some delay (I know this from previous experience!!) If you havent received them by the end of the week let me know & I will post another 2 for you. Many apologies!

[@sarahgal19]

Awesome! Such a cheerful tune :)

[@mikewoollett]

@th3p1anist Thank you.....best of luck with your playing too!!

[@mikewoollett]

Thanks for taking the time to post your comment-cheers!

[@mikewoollett]

ha jus checked out your channel! yes this is an original recording-filmed in black & white! no cabe attached to the piano for amplification-they are the pedal levers!! The piano was made circa1964. I appreciate your efforts though. keep trying-we all have to start somewhere. thanks for the entertainment bw

Cheers!

[@mikewoollett]

@bbxx44 Thanks so much-glad you enjoyed.

[@mikewoollett]

Lol I realise that.....just a shame I was only 3 years old 35 years ago!!! Please keep enjoying my music!

[@TheDollyknickers]

I love the filming in black and white! That was wonderful to watch. Love the white suit and hat too! You could play in your underwear and be good...um, but don't! You might stir up a different sort of following! LOL

[@williamsimcox7705]

I'd like to say that is just how I play it, but I'll have to be honest and just say "WOW".

[@mikewoollett]

@sarahgal19 Glad you enjoyed!!

[@mikewoollett]

[@mikewoollett]

Nice being told that rather than being told I look like a pimp!

[@mikewoollett]

Hahahaha!!

[@vimana19pianomedley]

Tx. Tis well, but would be weller if my wife would resolve our differences. Nevertheless, the truth is shining in my heart right now and I do still will send you a copy of my work; I need your address again; and my pc to start working again...

[@bertjuhh16]

[@RCman]

[@mikewoollett]

Cheers!
