"How do You Keep The Music Playing"....What a killer to play and sing live as a solo.


Anyone do it?

Have to admit, Russ, this is not one that I've done. Tony Bennett, of course, does a fantastic job with it on stage, but it's just not one for my audiences.

All the best,

Been lovin' that one for years, Russ. I do it with no style (lol) ... I mean, I do it as a piano/vocal arrangement.

Tony still has the chops, that's for certain! I don't think I'm nearly good enough to cover this song.

I hope this doesn't blow anyone's mind, but near the end of this Tony Bennett tune what he does reminds me of parts of this old standard from "Oliver."

James Ingram's version is the best, in my opinion, followed by Johnny Mathis, of all people!


GREAT SONG! I do it every night now.

Dave is right...a GREAT song to do on straight piano.


I think it would be a great change of pace song for many venues.


Really hard to pull it off!
