Did you know that I used to play the piano at a restaurant in Boca Raton? Yes, at the Boca Raton Hotel, I'd sit in the middle of their lunch buffet at a baby grand and crank out light musack while people nibbled on shrimp salad and white asparagus. To prove that I've still got my chops, I'm taking requests. In the comments below request a song (just one song!) and I'll do my best to honor the first 10. Then you can bring your plate to the computer and eat while I entertain you in a corresponding video.... If you like, this can be a weekly ritual. Music while you eat! Which other food blogger offers THAT?

Paranoid Android by Radiohead. Karma Police would also work!

Bridges and Balloons by Joanna Newsom! It's not very melodically complicated, I suppose, but it's a favourite.

Really, anything!?! Could you do Sound & Vision by Bowie?
I'm not sure how it'd be played on a Pee-anna
without the synthesizer stuff but I'd love to
hear the attempt.

Oh please .... "Misty" with Librace-esque flourishes?

I've missed the first ten but..."Baby Got Back" by Sir Mix-a-Lot. I'm serious. If you could play this on the piano I would love you forever.

And, of course there is that "Peanuts" tune - you know, the happy-go-dancy piano song that Snoopy and the gang bust a move to?

"Feelings"!
(Had to say it. Aren't you glad I'm too late for the first 10?)

I know I am way past ten, but "What a wonderful world" by Louis Armstrong would be awesome!
