I have to assume anyone following this blog is already well aware of the various events in my life since my last post, but I figured I'd post an update. Karen & I live in Charlotte, I work at a bank, we have a piano, and we have a baby! Here is the first of a few short videos of Clara & I banging on the piano. The song is "Will You Still Be Mine?"

Is this the first Cole Porter song on Piano Dan? That seems like an oversight.
Everything I Love

This song title could have used an editor.
This was recorded immediately after the fast version of I'm Old Fashioned I posted the other day. You can hear me sort of slow myself down before I settle on a tempo and start the song.
(I Don't Stand) A Ghost Of A Chance (With You)

Amy penciled in the words to this song in my fake book back last century, and they have been preserved through countless xeroxes in every binder I've put together over the past five years or so.
When I Fall In Love

This could be my theme song.My blazing fast tempo indicates that this was recorded on a Saturday. Maybe I'll post a "normal" version so you can compare.
I'm Old Fashioned

This tune is one of my favorites, and I haven't been able to find it in any fake book. So I get full arranger credit here.
They All Laughed (At Christopher Columbus)

The dress code has changed for pianists at Nordstrom--no more jacket & tie. I'll have to post a picture of my fabulous new look.
Too Marvelous For Words

Retirement beckons: I'm heading to the University of Chicago for graduate school in financial mathematics! Look for the new website "Mathematician Dan" in which I will post a new differential equation every day. (Just kidding. Sort of.)
...
Today at Nordstrom, a woman asked me the following question:
"Is that canoodling?"
She evidently meant this in some musical sense, but I've never heard it used that way. I pretended to think she was asking if I was playing a song called "Canoodling" (though I know of no such song). Altogether an awkward exchange.
There Will Never Be Another You

Not the same version I posted accidentally a few days ago. This is from a wedding I played on January 17th.
