BbAltered Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 Rockin' Pneumonia is a rock 'n roll classic!! It has been covered by everyone from Allan Tuissant to ZZ Top.

hatricklov Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 Not meaning to highjack a thread, but I've been looking to woodshed and work on the boogie woogie music genre during this period in my life (raising kids) as I don't have the time to play out with a band like I used to. That said, I've been pretty inspired with Luca Sestak's music as of late. http://www.lucasestak.com/en/ Dona is really good and quite the showman... almost a little bit too much for my taste. Yeah, I suppose I'm a little jealous of those skills! *eyeroll MainStage; Hammond SK1-73; Roland XP-80, JV-90, JV-1080, JV-1010, AX-1; Korg microSAMPLER; Boss DR-880; Beat Buddy; Neo Instruments Ventilator; TC Electronic ND-1 Nova Delay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EscapeRocks Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 Here she is doing that song using a Hammond XK-1 to control a piano module(?) That impresses me even more playing that style of piano with that type of action.

hatricklov Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 Buy "Boogie-Woogie Hanon". Interesting... on Amazon, it has really good reviews: https://www.amazon.com/Boogie-Woogie-Hanon-Progressive-Exercises-Revised/dp/1780385234 On SheetMusicPlus, it has awful reviews: http://www.sheetmusicplus.com/title/boogie-woogie-hanon-progressive-exercises-sheet-music/3598148#reviews I was actually leaning towards getting Brendan Kavanagh's (aka Dr. K) 'Badass Boogie Bundles' Volume 1 & 2. Although it's significantly more expensive, I like having the idea of what it'll teach via his YouTube videos. I'd favor having the actual music to sight-read as well as the exercises to develop at the same time. Hanon seems to be just exercises?

Steve Nathan Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 I'm reminded of Ginger Rogers, who said "I do everything Fred Astaire does, only backwards and in High Heels" She's in heels, standing and choreographing hip shakes to the beat accents Don't rush me.

WesG Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 I haven't looked at the book in 25-30 years, but my piano teacher highly recommended it. I enjoyed the exercises, although I never finished the book. Not even close. I keep meaning to go back it. I'm pretty sure I still have it. I found it really good for getting the feel of Boogie-Woogie under my fingers.

Baldwin Funster Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 I can do the Boogie ok. Its the Woogie i need to work on. Thanks to Donna for explaining Boogie Woogie. I had not heard that before. FunMachine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cphollis Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 OK, I'm motivated to go bring back all those boogie woogie chops I had back in the day. I will say that there's an art to making them sound natural and relaxed vs. driven, but there's the trick, no? Boogie woogie really moves me when it feels completely natural vs. rehearsed.

RABid Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 That video is a good demo on why to buy a full 88 instead of a 73 or 76. This post edited for speling. My Sweetwater Gear Exchange Page Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joegerardi Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 I'm reminded of Ginger Rogers, who said "I do everything Fred Astaire does, only backwards and in High Heels" Actually, Ginger never said that- she had too much class to make a statement like that. It originated in a 1982 Frank and Ernest cartoon. ..Joe Setup: Korg Kronos 61, Roland XV-88, Korg Triton-Rack, Motif-Rack, Korg N1r, Alesis QSR, Roland M-GS64 Yamaha KX-88, KX76, Roland Super-JX, E-Mu Longboard 61, Kawai K1II, Kawai K4.

Joe Muscara Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 Boogie woogie was the one time my piano teacher didn't remind me to practice in all keys! That actually made me happy. Boogie woogie is tough enough in C. I can't imagine some of those crazy patterns and licks in other keys. Dona puts on a good show! "I'm so crazy, I don't know this is impossible!
