“Thriller” - Happy Halloween - Here’s my jazz/blues rendition of the song everyone knows. Watch on my website: https://peterhostage.com/home

I'm playing all of the instruments: piano, guitar, organ, organ bass, drums and singing. I’ve paired it with a classic film “House On Haunted Hill,” starring Vincent Price, which is in the public domain. My favorite part is when the damsel in distress expresses extreme horror at my piano solo. The scenes in the movie fit the lyrics as if Rod Temperton wrote the song while watching the movie.

“Love Is Here To Stay” - my live solo piano/vocal version of the Gershwin classic. Watch/listen to it here on my home page: https://peterhostage.com/home
“Love Is Here To Stay” is a jazz standard written in 1937 by George and Ira Gershwin for the film “The Goldwyn Follies.” It is the last composition by George Gershwin who died July 11, 1937. Ira Gershwin completed the lyrics after his brother's death. The song became popular after Gene Kelly sang it to Leslie Caron in the film “An American in Paris” in 1951. The song has been recorded hundreds of times including versions by Frank Sinatra; Louis Armstrong and Ella Fitzgerald; Billie Holliday; Natalie Cole; Tony Bennett and Diana Krall; Elton John; and over 600 more.
