OK Uncle Dave, I don't mean to be dis-respectful either, but THOSE of us with a foundation of traditional piano training usually play MORE THAN only the standards. I can play classical music too . . .

Though I certainly do improvise , he clearly knows that I don't perform original material.

The fact is that I had actually worked at this restaurant some time ago awhile back, of which included not only playing 'pop standards', but some dinner hour background classical music (of which happens to be royalty-free) as well.

One of the highlights of this restaurant is that it has a nice acoustic Grand Piano, ALMOST as pleasurable to play as my own 7 foot Steinway B Grand at home. Sorry, but I just couldn't resist getting in that dig. - Scott
