I played trumpet in the pit for his show in the early 70s. He was a very fine entertainer.

matt, the article says that his piano teacher wouldn't play a new piece for him because he'd ace it by ear the first time through and not learn to read music. what a gifted musician.
his "lara's theme" gives me goosebumps.

Indeed, very gifted.
We had to laugh about some of his songs in concert that made him seem like a charicature of himself, where he played half notes and we did all the heavy lifting, until he did one of his inimitable runs. It was fun doing the show.

I've always enjoyed listening to his playing. He was a rare talent. RIP.

Interesting evening tonight; my wife said, "how about a game of Upwords." (it's similar to Scrabble). She put on a double CD entitled "Artist's Choice" by Louis Weertz aka Roger W.
Twenty-two songs of his choice. Talk about bringing back memories, and remembering how much (as a very amateur pianist) I longed to be able to play like him (didn't we all). Of course I've long since given up on the task. He had so much talent - and used it.
In the thirties, forties and fifties there were pianists like Cole, Duchin and Carmen Cavallaro, but we piano players owe him a debt of gratitude for bringing the piano to the forefront of popular music as few others have done.
Have a nice flight Mr. W, I'm going to miss you.
Glenn

The Band-in-a-Box® Flash Drive Backup Option
Today (April 5) is National Flash Drive Day!
Did you know... not only can you download your Band-in-a-Box® Pro, MegaPAK, or PlusPAK purchase - you can also choose to add a flash drive backup copy with the installation files for only $15? It even comes with a Band-in-a-Box® keychain!
For the larger Band-in-a-Box® packages (UltraPAK, UltraPAK+, Audiophile Edition), the hard drive backup copy is available for only $25. This will include a preinstalled and ready to use program, along with your installation files.
Backup copies are offered during the checkout process on our website.
Already purchased your e-delivery version, and now you wish you had a backup copy? It's not too late! If your purchase was for the current version of Band-in-a-Box®, you can still reach out to our team directly to place your backup copy order!
Note: the Band-in-a-Box® keychain is only included with flash drive backup copies, and cannot be purchased separately.
Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.
