I play the Tom and Jerry theme in the style of the Russian classics.

It’s been that kind of week.

The man's a legend!

I can help feeling sorry for the mouse inside the piano you've now woken up. You know it'll not end well for you.

peterdive.bsky.social•184 days ago

Steve. Thank you for your informative insights into what’s going on in Russia. Keep up the good work and stay safe.

briggsn.bsky.social•184 days ago

That is a creative way to wrap the week... thanks for the share :)

Do they discuss the holodomor in Russia? Given the rememberance day is upon us:

Omgoodness you are just a little vodka shot of joy in a nuclear forest of bad news!! So, with Eurovision coming up next May (never too early to start listening to the songs) - how long does it take you to learn how to play the winning song?

bbcstever.bsky.social•185 days ago

Thank you Jo. I’ve been called many things but never anything so nice as that. Regarding Eurovision winners, it all depends how memorable the melody is.

baseliner.bsky.social•185 days ago

Encore!!!!!

petemarchetto.bsky.social•185 days ago

Excellent. 😆

midaseye.bsky.social•185 days ago

I think you are brilliant but my 16 year old son states “He simply takes all the major notes and makes them minor while putting sustain on”. 😂😂😂😂.

He plays rock guitar. 🎸

giftednumber10.bsky.social•185 days ago

Brilliant!

falkirkbairnexiled.bsky.social•185 days ago

Brilliant. I remember you playing live on BBC morning news. Rachmaninov is a one off.

cherryfanc.bsky.social•185 days ago

It’s brilliant Steve. Could you do the theme from Star Trek?

randomchris.bsky.social•185 days ago

That’s brilliant

muso11.bsky.social•185 days ago

Your renditions are always joyful Steve. Please keep 'em coming!

dr-negrin.bsky.social•185 days ago

Oddly enough, I was playing the Carl Stalling project to myself earlier in the week. It seemed to sum up the times we live in, especially what's happening in America.

anngraham.bsky.social•185 days ago

So talented in many ways - not fair 🤣 brilliant 🤩

rogerniven.bsky.social•185 days ago

So clever and so terribly funny, thank you for posting and nice to find you here!!!

pauldarroch.bsky.social•185 days ago

You are very multi-talented, Steve.

bluecooper1.bsky.social•185 days ago

That’s great Steve !

drewpedder.bsky.social•185 days ago

The highlight of my week! 😄

jennibee.bsky.social•185 days ago

Thank you for this…and for all you do. Keep Tom on his toes 😉

hutch73.bsky.social•185 days ago

Superb gift you have there, sir.

roger1958.bsky.social•185 days ago

Brilliant Steve!

tkmtldn.bsky.social•185 days ago

Could you tell the model of your digital piano, sir?

louised.bsky.social•185 days ago

Thank you for your words and music 🎶🎶🎶🎶
When I was very young we named our two kittens Tom and Jerry…. Jerry grew up to be a huge strong and rather greedy cat 😂

campaignbear.bsky.social•184 days ago

TBF, I cannot listen to Rachmaninov without thinking about Tom and Jerry.

cynic3.bsky.social•185 days ago

You should definitely do a tour!!

harryaristophanes.bsky.social•185 days ago

Are “they” going try and “turn” you now?

enefkei.bsky.social•185 days ago

There is nothing like ussian classic.

saintetheldreda.bsky.social•185 days ago

We demand a concert. Royal Albert Hall. And a tour.

derekgray.bsky.social•185 days ago

Good to see you here. Your cojones are legendary.

t1m1964.bsky.social•185 days ago

Bravo maestro

christorm.bsky.social•185 days ago

I love watching your fingers over the keys. Brilliant. Please keep doing this.

flicksfan.bsky.social•185 days ago

Tom = Putin, Jerry = Zelenskyy ?

tkmtldn.bsky.social•185 days ago

Why? Zelensky is taller than Putin :)

flicksfan.bsky.social•185 days ago

I was thinking of Zeleensky's cunning as the smaller party vs Putin's failure of tactics that has extended the war. And hoping, that like Jerry he continues to outwit him.

What is wrong with me that my brain is adding an imaginary scratchy Leningrad Philharmonic accompaniment with bonus coughs from being a live recording?

Love this.

jimjamjamie.bsky.social•184 days ago

Should’ve been the theme to this https://youtu.be/z2_dhUv_CrI?si=w_KbNL7rgUdNjRwK

conh.bsky.social•185 days ago

You and Bill Bailey should tour together!

johnnieburdette.bsky.social•185 days ago

That’s quite a good rendition - nice expression.

bbcstever.bsky.social•185 days ago

Thank you very much.

bbcstever.bsky.social•185 days ago

sunnygate.bsky.social•185 days ago

Magical and hilarious simultaneously!

danm628.bsky.social•185 days ago

Thank you.

lizfawcett.bsky.social•185 days ago

Tempted to say you missed your true vocation with piano playing of that quality..but where would we be without your brave & excellent journalism? So glad you close the latter! 😁

bbcstever.bsky.social•185 days ago

Thank you so much Liz. Have a good Saturday.
