Inspiring Pianists

November 8, 2024, at home

Today (November 8, 2024) is World Pianist Day.

Throughout my decades of piano playing, there have been two pianists who have inspired me. Here are links to show you their piano prowess.

Eddie Jobson (He also plays electric violin.)

I have been playing the piano since the late 1960s, when my age was in single digits. I have written piano pieces, but my favorite thing to do is play improvisations on my digital piano. In 2009, I recorded and produced a twenty-nine-song CD titled "He Can't Be Serious," which includes eleven of my original instrumental songs.

Here is the link to my YouTube channel titled "Bill Santos: Piano & More." I have recorded and uploaded many videos of myself improvising like Jobson, as inspired by this Jobson improvisations video.
