Never knew he was a cousin of Elvis. He was cousin of Jimmy Swaggart and Mickey Gilley.
All are really good piano players and singers. Also Jerry Lee's sister, Linda Gail Lewis, plays and sings in the same style, a real rocker.
It doesn't matter to me if the left hand boogie stuff sounds better since I can't do it and don't have the patience or time or inclination to learn it. I have to use the tools at my disposal, and that is the arranger. LOVE IT by the way!
I know two guys who "do" JLL. One is Jason Williams, who is fantastic and who actually did the music for the movie about Jerry. The other is Brandy Roberts from Shreveport, who plays and sings as well as Jerry but not quite as wild as Jerry or Jason. I work a lot more than Brandy, but he certainly had a little more success or recognition that I ever will. He played at Branson with Penny Gilley for quite a while and still can be found on tv sometimes. Never made much money though, if that counts.
