I know it seems like everyone is caught up in the Michael Jackson craze, including myself. I am a fan of his music, and think that some of his bass lines are the best ever written. Anyways after a brief moment of wondering how I could express my tribute to MJ, I decided one afternoon to transcribe an old Jackson Five tune. Then I recorded it in my parent’s living room (on my favorite piano, though she is a bit out of tune). I’m not sure how long I will keep this video up, because I think it has a “cheese” potential. But if people like it, I’ll post more because I had fun doing it. Of course, anything to procrastinate from rehearsing all that Chopin is reason enough for me!

His Liszt had all the bravura and beauty you could hope for, and his Dutilleux was pure rock and roll.
