Dan Doran Band: Fat Guy Wiggle

Back in my days of being a starving musician in Kansas City, if I wasn't playing I would always try to find out where a handful of legendary piano players were playing so I could steal (ahem..... Learn) their licks.  I would search out Roy Sercee, Larry Van Loon, and Dan Doran.  Of all of them, the won I learned the most from was Dan. Of the three Dan was still playing real Kansas City jump blues, and could really swing on the piano.  I would watch Dan's left hand closely and then go home and practice, and practice until I could get workable, then the next time I would see him I would realize that I had only reached the tip of the iceberg!  Dan was also very cool about teaching, and showing me things.  Most of the keyboard players that I ran into in KC weren't so friendly, but Dan was hip to helping out a young player learn to play the blues.  So enjoy Dan and his band playing a swinging Kansas City jump called the Fat Guy Wiggle!
