It's always a treat to hear Dick Hyman play "Rags"––"Dizzy Fingers" carries an appropriate title and his version is, for a non-pianist, quite a tour-de-force. Watching the notes fly by, it looks like a roller-coaster ride. Fun, fun, fun!!
I have Hayms in my family tree so it’s possible that I am related to Hyman— I believe both words are from the Hebrew word “to life” — L’chaim”; there is a cantor in my family tree I found while writing my mom’s eulogy. (My dad’s family meanwhile were all butchers or car salesmen but that brought home the bacon if you excuse the mixed metaphor)
Dick Hyman is an unsung hero of American music
