First off, I'm happy to see so many ladies in their twenties and late teens on YouTube doing cover versions of Brenda Russell's classic, "Piano in the Dark"….
…I suppose that's because I get a little self conscious of the age of some of my fav' songs.
My sister's kid jokingly calls my music "pre-historic" (cruel joke, but funny I admit)
Nonetheless, when this classic dropped thirty years ago, me with my "Fresh Prince of Bel Air" level of maturity, had no clue what Brenda Russell was trying to say with so much passion to the "Piano Guy".
…though I knew one thing, I sure wished I was "That Guy".
So now, with a little "Studio Magic", I get to be that "Piano Guy", for all the ladies that have connected with this song…
….then, and now.
And, to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the song, I shot my video in Black and White, just like the original video also posted below…
…so now, maybe my sister's kid will not see my song as "pre-historic", but perhaps "stylishly classic" 🙂
Life, just like music, is all about…..
