Title: This pianist deserves our attention! Post by: ReggieDunbar on December 19, 2018, 01:07:12 AM Just found this guy on youtube
Playing bar on a cruise he pulls of a great version of Funky Pretty! He's uploaded some nice BB covers (including Disney Girls!) We need to comment and like that clip :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LoNZC0Wwc48 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LoNZC0Wwc48) Title: Re: This pianist deserves our attention! Post by: rab2591 on December 19, 2018, 02:42:12 AM Thanks so much for posting this! Man when he hits those chorus sections (and the coda) that song just comes alive! Funky Pretty is one of my favorite Brian Wilson songs ever, I think it is greatly under appreciated. Glad some others feel this song deserves some due.

Glad some others feel this song deserves some due. My thoughts exactly, Rab. I posted my comments on the video. There's a tavern down the road that features trios and a lot of single acts. I've actually requested a couple of the Boy's songs (on the back of a 20 dollar bill) and they were played and played well like this. So cool to hear material that isn't performed by every bar act every night. Title: Re: This pianist deserves our attention!

Title: Re: This pianist deserves our attention! Post by: Don Malcolm on December 19, 2018, 06:13:45 PM So great!!!! Is he playing it a bit faster than the actual track? That may be part of it...just a little more up-tempo, and WHAM! A moody, moogy song riding just under its true potential suddenly comes alive... :3d
We need a "Bill Forrest Does Holland" album. As Jack Rieley said, much of the LP was centered around that piano they found in Baambrugge, and a piano-based series of covers from start to finish would be a helluva lotta fun. |
