Funny how things pan out. A close friend of mine wanted to see a video of my fingers flying across the keys, and that got me stumped regarding a song choice. I tried a few songs, but didn’t get good vibes about them. Then from out of nowhere, a light bulb flashed in my head. What about Dizzy Fingers? This novelty piano piece was written by Zez Confrey, an American composer. I changed the arrangement a bit, but stayed true to the original for most of it.
This was another of my late father’s favorite songs, and it wouldn’t take me long to dig out the score, go through a few practice runs, and then let her rip. Fortunately I managed to find the score without much difficulty, so spent the morning doing some practice, trial recordings, and then managed to nail it after gobbling some lunch (yes, food helps too) This video is dedicated to my father.
Hope you good folks will enjoy this one!

Blimey! That’s definitely not for the newbies, hehe. Nice one.
Hee hee, thanks, Lisa. I had to coax all my ten fingers to play it!
Bravo! I love it! Nice to see you get a workout.
3 words to describe this video: “Great Playing” & “Entertaining”..
Thanks, Poh Lin.
