Womens With Chops

Time for another entry from a piano player who continues to cut right to my soul... keep in mind all this material is 50-60 years old so the song selection will have that limitation -- this one from the Eisenhower Administration.

What's the simplest, most basic, child-level two-finger tune somebody walking into a room with a piano might dabble with?
"Chopsticks" right?

Never been done like this though...

What to watch: left hand 0:18... Hand crossing 1:03... syncopation/key changes throughout... scat sighting at 1:19



Oh yeah, she's twenty years old here...

Adele should be included here too, and this is my favorite song from her right now. I think she is my favorite new female singer. I have to familiarize myself with some more of her songs though. :)
