    I went over 20 years without playing and just bought a new piano. I was a little rusty but the muscle memory was still there.
    I used to play this song and I just wanted a little refresher course to make sure what I remembered was correct and you delivered.
    Thank you!!

I realized i missed so many details when playing this..but with singing it and the harp part it was all i could do 😅. You have really simplified the teaching. I sat down for an hour today rehashing the intro starting and stopping this vid! Amazing my progress

    The fact that I’ve only played piano for 5 days yet learned to player a tiny bit slower version of the opening is amazing. And it kills me I only learned it because I play harmonica and wanted to play the piano part of the song before the harmonica solo so it could sound more like the song.

    Great tutorial, Francesca - thank you. I've long wanted to learn this, but have always been a bit shy of it because it 'sounds' hard! A half-hour, though, and I've got the intro nailed! I did once try learning it from sheet music, but didn't get far. Although my sight reading is improving now, my pattern recognition is still better when it's relating to the keyboard in front of me rather than the notes on the stave - so this method of learning suits me perfectly. One day I may be able to tackle 'Root Beer Rag' - but only when I grow a few extra fingers! I can play 'Maybe I'm Amazed', but am going to check out your video on it now to see your take on it. Thanks again. My learning has really improved since latching onto this channel.

    It's nine o'clock on a Saturday
    The regular crowd shuffles in
    There's an old man sittin' next to me
    Makin' love to his tonic and gin
    He says, "Son can you play me a memory?
    I'm not really sure how it goes
    But it's sad and it's sweet and I knew it complete
    When I wore a younger man's clothes"
    La, la-la, di-di-da
    La-la di-di-da da-dum
    Sing us a song, you're the piano man
    Sing us a song tonight
    Well, we're all in the mood for a melody
    And you've got us feelin' alright
    Now John at the bar is a friend of mine
    He gets me my drinks for free
    And he's quick with a joke, or to light up your smoke
    But there's some place that he'd rather be
    He says, "Bill, I believe this is killing me"
    As a smile ran away from his face
    "Well, I'm sure that I could be a movie star
    If I could get out of this place"
    Oh, la, la-la, di-di-da
    La-la di-di-da da-dum
    Now Paul is a real estate novelist
    Who never had time for a wife
    And he's talkin' with Davy, who's still in the navy
    And probably will be for life
    And the waitress is practicing politics
    As the businessmen slowly get stoned
    Yes, they're sharing a drink they call loneliness
    But it's better than drinkin' alone
    Sing us the song, you're the piano man
    Sing us a song tonight
    Well, we're all in the mood for a melody
    And you've got us feelin' alright
    It's a pretty good crowd for a Saturday
    And the manager gives me a smile
    'Cause he knows that it's me they've been comin' to see
    To forget about life for a while
    And the piano, it sounds like a carnival
    And the microphone smells like a beer
    And they sit at the bar and put bread in my jar
    And say man what are you doin' here?
    Oh, la, la-la, di-di-da
    La-la di-di-da da-dum
    Sing us the song, you're the piano man
    Sing us a song tonight
    Well, we're all in the mood for a melody
    And you've got us feelin' alright
