A Left Hand like God
By Peter Silvester
Synopsis
A Study of the Boogie-Woogie
'He had a left hand like God. He didn't even know what key he was playing in, but he played them all. He would play the ragtime stride bass, but it bothered him because his stomach got in the way of his arm, so he used a walking bass instead. I can remember when I was thirteen - this was 1896-how Turk would play one note with his right hand and at the same time four with his left. We called it "sixteen" - they call it boogie-woogie now'
