piano ninety seven ninety eight two thousand soon i bet put in the hall of fame soon to be put in the north west hall of fame and always this stalwart part of the scene  so organized so together and you know i was thinking about it earlier today reminds me of l j porter who had quite that organizational skill going and both of you residing on the east side and pull in a whole community together when you do a gig like this point the whole community together now you grew up do a little bit of bach and beethoven you started at the age of five and the boogie woogie stuff first came to you when you saw a little richard on american bandstand tell me about that experience tell me about that first time well i have a large family i am also adopted does that count and we didn't could afford those i tell you said several shows a way grandma had like two octaves plasticky what we call an accordion little richard's on the american bandstand remember that was the last century it were already here in the new century can you imagine such is thing i have so honored to still be alive to tell you this story so i was doing my first john instrument is it has civil rights it's black and white good one well you do teach a lot and it is more than piano isn't it i mean you learn what kind of lessons have you learned that are not musical but they've been through your musical work what kind of other kinds of lessons have you been able to pick up along the way i thank you for that question my lessons along the way is that my students who have been from i've taught for a very long time well over thirty years and performing in touring and they always come back to me and that is like when you yourself employed you don't have to give yourself the employee of the month plaque when your students come back to you after their little and grow on and they come back to you and they say i'm still that music a part of my life that is like the best thing and that's what i've learned  receive certification in oregon by the organ music teachers association that is one years old you were the first when i was nineteen as the first one to receive that surf occasion is correct but like i you know this is like great things for you to bring out thank you for doing your homework well and you went to cornish i did a little ballet there when i was five but i'm not really going to going to get into that career wise sneaking backstage was a big part of learning about business period and we're still in touch this day and i still proud of me he was there when i first got my edition at cornish he was there when i graduated  no matter what happens to your career always have your name forward this is this is advice from steve have your name forward because your band members will always change and no matter if you're a rock n roll blues or whatever just remember that because it will change and that has been such green lessons from the mother goose of the blues that would be any bill blues and her latest cd or package actually comes with lessons in it joint jam and that'll teach you how to jam i got to ask you how do you teach people how to jam in a book tell me that that we have a guitar player and i teach a person from acoustic blues perception from that position that they have got to have their left hand down and comping scales along with a guitar player that they please get your your ear for one thing you don't have to pay a bass  player to do with your family you are so the next book means when you don't play with a bass player and they are present but quickly i just wanted to seven say that it makes the piano player learn the bass lines they listen for the bas player's signals they want the nose should be for swing shuffle well you will be and then they just copy the right hand with a few little fills and i mean it covers everything a blues when you're in a give her some love thank you and that transition of course thank you ma'am i got to ask aren't there about his left hand work because you were confessing to me that the metronome made also helpful to practice again i've always played with a metronome during scales and technical practice but i started having fun with it again playing my booky and blues in the stuff that i performed play with the metronome it just it helps to get back in the groove which is so important and it points out where you have a tendency to rush things or slow things like all classical players is a caste system he played for the rich he taught for the rich people's children he would hear this played like complete too slow too fast so he had this
