Floyd Cramer and his piano style

1. Rebound

This song was a hit when I was young, and I love the way that Floyd Cramer plays the piano in his own unique style. The pictures on this show are so beautiful, and I hope you enjoy them.

2. Last Date

This was his big hit when I was a teenager, and I wish I could play the piano as well as Floyd Cramer.

3. San Antonio Rose

I used to sing this song when I was a teenager, and I recently heard Floyd Cramer do this song on the radio, and I really loved it. It is so beautiful how the strings come in, then he goes back to the piano. It is one of my favorite love songs.

4. How to play ‘Last Date’

Last Date was a hit song when I was young, and I loved the way he played the piano. It was so different from anything I had heard before. When I play slow songs on the piano, I try to do a bit of his style. One day he came to our home town with Jim Reeves and Chet Atkins, but we were not allowed to go to shows. Some guys I knew went to the show, and the one guy started playing guitar like Chet Atkins, and his brother played piano like Floyd Cramer. They were so talented. I was busy trying to take off Jim Reeves. Many times I have wondered how things would have worked out if we had teamed up as a group.

5. Floyd Cramer, piano

The credit said this is Floyd playing on this version of “The Rose,” so I have included it here.

6. Judy – Elvis and Floyd

I just came across this song, and played it about 6 times. I enjoyed it so much.

7. Daddy sang bass

I had a record of Johnny Cash singing this song, and it brings back so many memories. My sister Valerie asked me to sing it at her wedding reception. It is one of my favorite love songs.

8. Cotton fields

This is a great sing-a-long song.

9. Green green grass of home

This is one of my favorite love songs when I sing and play the piano. I sang it many times at Portal Village in Port Colborne.

10. Faded Love – with Pat Daisy

A beautiful old song.

11. You’ve still got a place in my heart

I have heard Dean Martin sing this one.

12. I can’t stop loving you

I still think that everybody needs to be loved.

13. Tie a yellow ribbon round the old oak tree

Such a lovely song.
