I finally watched Interactive Introverts for the first time and immediately knew I had to learn the closing song on the piano!

Tried my best to write down what I played for anyone else who wants to try it. (Multiple pages, under the cut!) ❤️🤍

**all rights to the melody and original music go to Daniel Howell and Phil Lester, only the piano arrangement is mine**

#dan and phil #interactive introverts #dnp #ser sketches #piano #daniel howell #phil lester #this took me 4 hours over the course of 2 days and i'm so happy with how it turned out #the LH arpeggio first part was inspired by the piano version by citystreetlights on youtube bc it was sooo pretty #and then i wanted to jazz up the second part a bit and not have it be only chords #calling all music phannies if you want to try this or improve it go CRAZY PLS!!#not bad for being played on a well-loved but horribly broken communal university piano

William ‘Count’ Basie was born to Lillian and Harvey Lee Basie in Red Bank, New Jersey. His father worked as a coachman and caretaker for a wealthy judge. After automobiles replaced horses, his father became a groundskeeper and handyman for several wealthy families in the area. Both of his parents had some type of musical background. His father played the mellophone, and his mother played the piano; in fact, she gave Basie his first piano lessons. She took in laundry and baked cakes for sale for a living. She paid 25 cents a lesson for Basie's piano instruction.

The best student in school, Basie dreamed of a traveling life, inspired by touring carnivals which came to town. He finished junior high school but spent much of his time at the Palace Theater in Red Bank, where doing occasional chores gained him free admission to performances. He quickly learned to improvise music appropriate to the acts and the silent movies. Though a natural at the piano, Basie preferred drums. Discouraged by the obvious talents of Sonny Greer, who also lived in Red Bank and became Duke Ellington's drummer in 1919, Basie switched to piano exclusively at age 15.

Basie played the vaudevillian circuit for a time until he got stuck in Kansas City, Missouri in the mid-1920s after his performance group disbanded. He went on to join Walter Page's Blue Devils in 1928, which he would see as a pivotal moment in his career, being introduced to the big-band sound for the first time. He later worked for a few years with a band led by Bennie Moten, who died in 1935. Basie then formed the Barons of Rhythm with some of his bandmates from Moten's group.

During a radio broadcast of the band's performance, the announcer wanted to give Basie's name some pizazz, keeping in mind the existence of other bandleaders like Duke Ellington and Earl Hines. So he called the pianist "Count," with Basie not realizing just how much the name would catch on as a form of recognition and respect in the music world.

Over a sixty-plus year career, William “Count” Basie helped to establish jazz as a serious art form played not just in clubs but in theaters and concert halls. He established swing as one of jazz’s predominant styles, and solidified the link between jazz and the blues.

Born William James Basie on August 21, 1904 in Red Bank, New Jersey and died on April 26, 1984 in Hollywood, Florida at the age of 79.

for when you're tired 💤🫂💙

gentle songs i've been listening to lately 🐦 they've been helping me get through it 🐟 i hope they can help you too 🙏

i'm not going to tell you the titles outright because it's more fun that way, but if you really want the non-obfuscated version, it's under the cut ⬇️

when you have things to do 🚶‍♀️

🎒📚 romanticizing a textbook (campus quad ver)

🌼🎧 commuting among a sea of people

❤️🌹 i would fold laundry with you

📘🖌️ creating with calm hobbit energy

🌛🌜 as the water slips down the drain

winding down after a long day 🧘‍♀️

🥺😌 you're the lead in a simple, cozy drama

🎺🕶️ everything is better when you walk slowly

🛌🥲 in your feels from the safety of your bed

📱🌌 stargazing from the bottom of your heart

🌅🎑 we begin and end with love

when you have things to do

jazz (rain ver) (spring ver)

not alone (ひとりじゃない)

love is stronger than pride

simple piano playlist

tonight (이 밤)

winding down after a long day

exclusive fairytale osts (独家童话)

lean on me (기대)

unbreakable love (永不失联的爱)

tell me that you love me (사랑한다고 말해줘)

darling // ya'aburnee

In 1943, she became the first African-American to perform at Orchestra Hall in Chicago. Donegan became known for her entertaining and flamboyant style of performance, and garnered a cult following. She began receiving wider acclaim later in life. In 1992, Donegan received a Jazz Master fellowship from the National Endowment for the Arts. The following year, she performed at the White House.

Dorothy Donegan died in 1998 at the age of 76.
