Jim's journey begins... :)

I like it very much! The music flow and the phrasing all great and smooth. Rhythm in the piece is not the easiest one, but you are accurate!
The hands improved a lot!
Thank you for sharing!
I think it is time to move to faster pieces for technique development. Can you look at Circus Rag from Boogie 2?

Thanks Hellene for the advice. I'll try that quick!

Playing this song sounds impossible for me in the first few days, easier than I thought in the middle, but very hard (to perfect it) at the end. Anyway, here's my latest attempt.

Jim, it is sound good, though!
Now let's take it to the level of perfectness
Please, visit this link: www.softmozart.com/forum/55-teaching-videos/5524-boogie-2.html
Download 2 videos with the song - 1 slower playing with metronome and 2nd without.
Master you piece playing alone with video. Try to copy the hands movement - it would help you to relax your hands in certain places and increase your endurance without loosing velocity of the piece.
After mastering the song with the metronome move on to the polishing video and try to keep up with my speed.
Let me know, how it goes!
BTW, check the text. You shouldn't press Do (Middle C) - it has extension.

Thanks Hellene for the advice. I'll try to perfect that.

Meanwhile, will you clarify what the following means?

When you play the piece:
Do Ti Do ___ Sol Fa Sol ____ Mi Re Mi Do DO ____ Do Re Mi

You play Do twice, but there is a tie, that connects both Do and you shouldn't press it.
Please, try to play with my videos for clarification!
