Two-fer Tuesday: A Little Boogie Woogie

Expected -- from phenomenal pianist Henry Gray:




I had the distinct honor of meeting Henry Gray in 2009, hearing him play, and photographing him at work. Lovely man.


Unexpected:




I'm so sad that I only got to visit the Liberace Museum once for a cabaret showcase right when I moved to the Vegas. If you're amenable to it, they are taking donations to help preserve the collection and find it a permanent home. It's worth it. Sincerely, to see the shoes and the costumes and the piano and everything else...this is a sight to behold.

And one of my favorites -- the Queen of Boogie Woogie, Ms. Sue Palmer! Special guest, Steve Lucky (of Steve Lucky & the Rhumba Bums, who I also enjoy):

That Sue Palmer clip is a perfect example of the pure, unbridled joy that is music.
