    Perfect. I used to play a sort of cut-down version of theses styles, and practiced a few hours a day on these tunes and quasi-exercises, but gradually less and less, and then about fifteen years ago I became somewhat piano phobic and switched to guitar instead. But now I'm getting back into it, and these sets of ideas are a great stimulus and inspiration to sit down at the keyboard. I love the way you think and play. The plain ol' boogie and blues pianists are useful in this context as well, e.g., James P. Johnson, Otis Spann. Plus I've been listening to great classical pianists - there are so many!

    All the stuff you play, the examples, sound great, which lends great authority to what you say, and inspires me: I would be happy to play like you do, even the simplest stuff sounds great. I also like your distinction between what you play when you practise and what you play when performing. I think practise can naturally leak into performance, so when you practise you don't need to worry about how it will sound in performance. The way you play is very much in tune with how you present - natural, relaxed. Good job!
