  • Thoughts about 2023 with Kevin Belton

    All things in moderation. Ever heard that expression? It's worthwhile to reflect on "all things" in your life that are good like music, family and friends, food and ice cream desserts. Today is Sunday. Take time to be holy. Play a musical instrument or sing in church. Make sure to video your performance. Read something even if it means food labels, the owner's manual for keyboard and God's Word in the KJV Open Study Bible. There it is. Happy New Year 2023!

  • In the Groove with Yamaha's E463 Groove Creator

    These are songs you might play with Yamaha's Groove Creator. Videotape your playing so a video like this can be uploaded to your YouTube channel. It is a good way to see your actual progress over time. Please date the music lessons in a journal and plan ahead. Your next recital should be within six months, for example the July 4th holiday. Keep a song in your heart and mind. Ultimately, it should become part of your playlist preparing you to perform in public. Smiling not a major requirement. Your audience can tell by your playing if you are smiling inside and probably on cloud nine and the iCloud. Some may record you on a smartphone or digital camera. This is about sharing the love that comes with music. Keep playing as long as nobody throws tomatoes. It could happen. Eye contact with the public should be made before playing or after, if at all possible, based on experience. It's also a great way to introduce your music when playing in public. Thanks for watching.

  • Stride Piano, Fats Waller & the Bobcat

    If ragtime piano can be seen as the starting point in the evolution of jazz piano, then the next step in that evolutionary process wasn't a step all; it was a "stride." Around 1920, the popularity of ragtime piano began to wane, as blues music became the new fad. In response to this — while also incorporating some of the influence of Tin Pan Alley — several pianists, primarily in Harlem, began to experiment with a blending of styles. The result was stride piano. Thomas Wright "Fats" Waller was an American jazz pianist, organist, composer, violinist, singer, and comedic entertainer. His innovations in the Harlem stride style laid much of the basis for modern jazz piano. SOURCE: Wikipedia. The Joint Is Jumpin' was released in 1937. Words by Andy Razaf and J. C. Johnson, music by Thomas "Fats" Waller/arr. Alan Billingsley. From the 1978 musical Ain't Misbehavin'. The musical is a tribute to the music of Fats Waller. It was a time when Manhattan nightclubs such as the Cotton Club and the Savoy Ballroom were the playgrounds of high society and Lenox Avenue dives were filled with piano players banging out the new beat known as swing.
