Okay, let's follow this with "Bumble Boogie" by B. Bumble and the Stingers. I loved the '60s.

I agree with the previous comment—great change of pace. And it's even an audiophile recording which, with RP's high quality streams, sounds great. Few internet radio stations can touch RP for the quality of the music OR the quality of the sound.

A ten only because I'm a homer.  If I lived in say Wisconsin, then maybe a 8.5.  Nice addition to the play list.

The Brown sibs do a great version of this.
but then, any one of the sibs is amazing on piano, so the group of them hammering away is most excellent.

Saw him in concert last year...thought he was going to do this one for an encore, but did Van Halen's "Panama" instead, bitter disappointment....he wore cool shoes with big silver buckles though.
