When I was a teenager, I mostly learned the Pine Top Boogie Woogie on the piano. I also grabbed Billy Joel’s arrangement of Root Beer Rag which was equally fun to play. Rag and Big Band era jazz are two of my favorite genres.
If I had talent like him or her, I think life would be happy and good.
I'd play piano everyday.

My father had a Hammond organ that he played every night after dinner for over 40+ years.
Later, when I had to put him in an Assisted Living Facility, they had a piano which he played during the day and in the evening, he played hymns with the residents singing along.

Jools Holland was briefly mentioned in the OP's video. Those who don't know, he was an original member of the band Squeeze back in the late 70s, early 80s, went solo, and is now host of a long running TV show in Britain. He is also an excellent piano player. Here he is with Dr. John.
