Whenever I am feeling down, Fats always gets me back up and going again. It's impossible to be sad when you listen to his wonderful music. There needs to be a definitive book on him.

Not only was he one of the greatest pianists of the 20th century, but he was also a skilled organ player and an effervescent comedian.

I love the way this piece makes me listen to old musical friends with a fresh ear. Keep ‘em coming!

Fats is one of the greats who always makes me feel good, with the combination of his good humor, musicianship, and showmanship. We can hear him in Basie's organ work, having learned it from Fats. I'm pleased to see your attention to him.
