Summer in Ohio - Last Five Years - Piano Instrumental

[@jennifernorthcutt9514]

CATHERINE I could have a mansion on the hill I could lease a villa in Seville But it wouldn't be as nice as a summer in Ohio With a gay midget named Karl, playing Tevye and Porgy I could wander Paris after dark Take a carriage ride through Central Park But it wouldn't be as nice as a summer in Ohio Where I'm sharing a room with a "former" stripper and her snake: Wayne I could have a satchel full of dollar bills Cures for all the nations ills Pills to make a lion purr I could be in line to be the British queen Look like I was seventeen Still I'm certain I'd prefer to be going slowly batty Forty miles east of Cincinnati I could shove an ice pick in my eye I could eat some fish from last July But it wouldn't be as awful as a summer in Ohio Without cable, hot water, Vietnamese food, or you I saw your book at a Target in Kentucky Under a sign that said "New and Recommended" I stole a look at your picture on the inside sleeve and then I couldn't leave Richard, who was with me, got uncharacteristically quiet And he said, "All things considered, I guess you don't have to buy it" So I smile like Mona Lisa, and I lay my Visa down He wants me, he wants me, but he ain't gonna get me I've found my guiding light, I tell the stars each night Look at me, look at him Son of a b**ch, I guess I'm doing something right I finally got something right No, it's not Nirvana, but it's on the way I play "Anita" at the matinee Then I'll get on my knees, and pray I can state in my next bio: "I'm never gonna go back to Ohio!" I could chew on tin foil for a spell I could get a root can*l in hell But it wouldn't be as swell as this summer is gonna be! 'Cause the torture is just exquisite, while I'm waiting for you to visit So hurry up, schmuck, get unstuck and get on the scene Love, The midget, the stripper, Wayne the snake, and Mrs. Jamie Wellerstein That's me!

[@latalullah6655]

This is the best rehearsal video because you plow through it so fast if you can get your breathing right at this speed, you'll be golden when you walk into the room. It's PERFECT! Clear, clean accompaniment. THANK YOU

[@rehearsalpianist]

Thanks 😊

[@rehearsalpianist]

The original is probably about 5-10 bpm slower I think.. But I prefer it perky

[@kellypeterson5084]

Preparing for an audition and this is PERFECT! Thank you! Even 4 years after originally posting it, your skills are so helpful. Thanks a bunch!

[@rehearsalpianist]

Kelly Briggs glad it helped you a year ago!

[@sheldonsmoonpie]

Well done! I've been looking for an instrumental version of this song for ages. Thank you :) Keep playing great music!

It's in the original key, which starts in Bb and switches to B right after "Never gonna go back to O-hi-O!". :)

[@cilva7able]

That's a really nice keyboard. What kind is it and what speakers do you have attached to it?

[@rehearsalpianist]

[@desireeknotts3855]

jason robert brown songs are so perfect for my audition coming up but my accompanist cant play most of his stuff and im sooooo stuck bc my original want for the audition song was to sing summer in ohio 😭

[@rehearsalpianist]

They are great songs, sometimes difficult for a pianist, especially to sight read :) These days however a lot of accompanists are familiar with his work. Best of luck!

[@sophiaclass]
