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)
